    If you read Stephen Steinberg’s ‘The Ethnic Myth’, he explains how West Indians often find relative success in this country because they basically represent the ‘cream of the crop’ because of restrictive immigration policies and often come with skills needed to make it in this country, unlike the inner-city blacks who have little chance to acquire job skills to advance their prospects. He also qualifies the success of West Indian blacks by saying their average incomes still falls far short of the average incomes of whites, and closely mirror the average income of middle-class blacks.
