My understanding is that the Kenyan education system is one of the best on the African continent, and that Kenyan-American immigration waves selected strongly on education and academic accomplishment. Kenyan-American households are wealthier than the American median, have higher homeownership than average, and so on. It’s not a very large immigration group, so that’s the part that is probably more on the random and personal side.
Still reading this long piece, but stumbled over this:
Is this generally true or just a random personal fact? Why Kenyans specifically??
