Questionable work ethic among African ethnicities. Is it a cultural thing or laziness?

[noname_]

Hi, I have so many questions in regard to African immigrants in the West and I've been wondering for a long time what stems from this. I'm not going to ask anyone who could be a bias white racist who can't be taken seriously so i'm hoping anyone here can finally answer this one. I'm sure most of you know what i'm talking about.

I'll start off with what I've seen so far living here mostly observing East Africans/horners. It's a bit long rant so please bear with me.

At my work in the last 12 years, casuals in busy days come in from all sort of backgrounds and from observation when I'm tasked to supervise them, I've found all Africans ethnicities (including Somalis that talk 24/7 with no awareness, like nothing as if they have a disability) to be the most laziest and unreliable.

When they hire them, my gut instinct is always right that things are not going to get done on time. I feel deeply embarrassed because of my "skin color" being associated with them in the eyes of others that sees "black" as one. What can I say? I prefer Asians for their "no talk for 9 hours, short break" mentality for an ease of mind but I can't openly tell them to selectively choose based on names.

Working in blue collar jobs is known to be very frowned upon among every African descents in the West.

At this point, I don't think laziness is the reason. It must be that they're genetically predisposed to follow their ancestors lifestyle where they only relied on agriculture and a nomad life. It is also the same back at home where Whites, Asians and Turks are doing the lifting and operating under their own company.

What led me to believe this theory is to take a look at the first generation immigrants, East Africans started off working as taxi and truck drivers. Whereas, first generation Eastern Europeans, South Americans and Asian (including Arabs, Turks and sub continent) started off with trades, manual laboring, automotive and IT.

Then when you look at the second and third generation which is today, they're now working the same unskilled job along with Uber, security guard and other solo errand types where they work on their own.

Meanwhile, all the other second generation immigrants opened a construction, automotive, hospitality, real estate, agriculture, textile, IT industry and the list goes on in span of just 20-30 years of living in the West. Some of them come from impoverished or war torn countries so I don't want to hear any excuses.

No, I don't consider the over-saturated generic Horner restaurants and small shops in the middle of the outdated malls to be a big achievement but WTF is that?

On top of that, African descents that live in the West for 200 years haven't done anything (entertainment don't count).

I just can't wrap my head what caused this? Is it the genetics, culture or actual laziness?

Black people only became lazy when they stopped working for free.

This is actually bullshit, most Somalis work in the uk, students mostly work in warehouses where they would get better pay in menial job even the Somali hoyos are working in health and social, why should they give hundred percent they paid the bare minimum,

there is work ethic, they are at work lol

Your mom is lazy for giving birth to such a dimwit child

my friend is Pakistani and his dad given a visa to the united states in the 80s, he was the only person in Pakistan that knew how to use a special computer program. he was hired by NASA as an engineer. most of the Asians that come to the united states are already middle class, if not upper middle class in their own countries. they have the work ethic and knowledge on the western economic model.

anyway, my friend has two masters degrees and makes $200,000/year and his life is stress free. there is no glory in overworking, and i learn from the way he does things all the time, the best thing we can do is follow the same principles Asians followed. but sadly, i see more and more Somalis falling victim to self-hate and deviant cultures.

Yea thats the thing, somalis and most other africans came from war-torn countries, or countries where most ppl are dirt poor.

Most Blacks work hard. I will not mention the few exceptions because it would be politically incorrect to do so.

I think somalis thrive better in places where there's no welfare

 

[Yaraye]

Working hard for one's own business is what somalis do. That's their mentality. Why tf should we stress ourselves over work just to make someone else richer? Doing the bare minimum to get paid is the way to go

They take advantage in the west for sure but that‘s because it’s too easy lol look at the Somali communities in Africa and Asia they all are puttin in dat work because there isn’t no handouts.

 

[Odious Delirium]

Most immigrants did not come as refuges but as economic migrants. There is a huge difference and generally its the middle/upper class who come to the west.

 

[Cartan Boos]

working 9 hours is just being slave look at the smart people like finnish they workless in school and other department but they move smart not hard, if u want to be adoon who overworks with shit society go ahead,

also u can't compare asians and africans to somalis and other immigrants who mass migranted due to war while the others like asians and some africans did selective immigration, they basically students,second class citizens who were already edocated and chose to move to the west, west takes the best out the best from shithole countries it's called selective immigration u would've known that if u weren't such illiterate,

somalis who did mass immigaration still outperform cadaan u illiterate

again this was 2015 imagine now

SOMALIS ARE MASTER RACE U FOKING LANGAAB
