Correct. A self-selecting sample if there ever was one.

Immigrating and deciding to live in another country takes a lot determination.

If you take ambitious and motivated black parents in America I am quite sure their children far outcompete the averages.



How long in the family history does it take to lose that ambition/motivation? The colonists back in the day had to have had those same qualities. Maybe even more so with all the added risk and dangers of the time.


Afaik, next generation takes up values and habits of society they are in and their children are like everybody else.
