In my country, I don't know, but Italians used to be an oppressed minority in the USA. Not any more, largely because they changed that perception with the sweat of their hard work. Blacks seem to have decided that it's easier to play the eternal victims. The Irish are another people that suffered discrimination at the hands of Americans, and survived to tell the tale. More than anything, the black community seems to be the victim of its own mentality, of which the OP is an example. Bill Cosby agrees with me.
