Except that recent poor Asian immigrants had to send their kids to the same schools - and those kids largely went on to college.
It ain't the schools, it is the anti-educational attitude of thug culture. Any black kid who tries to do well is accused of being an Oreo or of acting white.
But 'acting white' is how you get ahead in life in this country.

It is the absolute lack of a culture; compare “African Americans” to blacks from British-influenced cultures; they are night & day (pardon the pun).
But, if black kids act white, then they are ostracized by some blacks who embrace the ghetto and gang culture.
