For that to be a real argument rather than a thought-terminating incantation, they would have to provide some examples where blacks actually did catch up to whites over time. crickets...

You joke, but I've seriously met some individuals who think countries like India or Jamaica are on par with Europe. They either point to extreme examples, like maybe one good city that's in a wealthy area, or they use rare exceptions, like Usain Bolt being an extraordinary athlete.

But when I ask these same people why do they bother immigrating to the West then if everything is fine, they respond with "because they want better education/opportunities".

It's absolutely wild arguing with these people, especially since they refuse... to... take.... no... for.... an... answer.
