    West Indians do well because the discipline in West Indian elementary and high schools is good, with few exceptions. I wore school uniforms in elementary, secondary and technical school. School is not a joke or fashion show or pick-up joint for teens. Usually the West Indians who come to the United States are the best the Caribbean has to offer academically, financially and socially, and these are the type of people who do well even in their own countries; they just come to the States to do better. The economies of the Bahamas, Trinidad, Barbados and many smaller islands are healthy enough so that their people don’t arrive in the United States dirt poor. They have a start when they arrive. Caribbean moms tend to hold back their girls from boys and teenage pregnancy. The children of Caribbean people often live with their parents much longer than U.S. blacks, so young West Indian adults save money by not having to pay for housing all by themselves. Like U.S. blacks, Caribbean people tend to be more religious, so, simply put, God blesses them. These are just a few of the reasons I can rattle off, off the top of my head.
