The fact remains that there are no hard statistics to prove or disprove the economic success of Black Guyanese compared to Indo Guyanese in the US. .. 

And yet you scream that you are superior.  Why is that?  Is it that you collapse into self loathing unless you can convince yourself that black Guyanese are inferior?

I invite you to compare the data that the NYC has on immigrants. It will show that Guyanese and Jamaicans are on par with each other. And in fact that Jamaicans are slightly MORE likely to be in professional and management positions (both men and women) and many (25% of the men) are in construction which has some of the best blue collar wages.

Unless you can prove that black Guyanese do worse than Jamaicans then we must infer that Indo Guyanese are on par with their Afro counterparts.

It is doubtful, first of all, if you look at the Indo's in Guyana and see how their villages always seem to be in better economic shape than Afro, then extrapolate this to the US where you can go to RH and see how Indos are owing their own properties and upkeeping to a high standard. The BlackG we have little information on and they blend in seamlessly with the AfroAmericans and Caribbean. You claim that there is a AfroG Mali somewhere in the US but we are yet to see evidence of this. A tiger normally will not change his stripes.
