    It seems Joel is just so positive and well understanding differences in wherever he's and whoever he encounters, but it is not easy to see that way. Even in the States, and if you were Asian, safer to stay in your own community. If you were a person with color, you will soon find that the US is one of the truly racist countries, but some people are still very nice, of course. Korea might take a little longer time to accept various aspects and people from all other countries since it's not used to being around with.Thank you for sharing 😊

    If you let white people know you have money they will do everything in their power to take it from you because you're black. This is in the US, it's less of a problem in big cities like New York and San Francisco. They will break every law on the books to attain this. If he wants to see black people in corporate jobs watch Nollywood movies. I'm Nigerian American and I've seen many Nigerians that make millions a year that get shaken down by the Department of Justice on frivolous charges beause they are mad that you have alot of money and they don't. If you start showing our success you make other Nigerians a target of these racists.

      @@evolve_hq Just don't don anything out of the normal. The Nigerians I'm thinkingof, one was a pharmacist (his Nigerian wife was a lawyer) making millions through mail order pharmacy, he bought Frank Sinatra's hourse and 18 cars including Bentley. You can do that in Nigeria but in the US the average white american will call the cops on you and say you're "drug dealing." He shut down his business, the Feds seized all his cars and told him he had to sell Frank Sinatra's old house. The same thing happened to this Nigerian couple, one was an MBA and engineer and the other was a dermatologist. They bought Kenny Rogers old house in Atlanta. They had a party where they were spraying money and one of their white employees got jealous and called the feds and accused them of "double billing." Doctors make a lot of money they don't have to double bill. Anyway the Feds said they had to sell or abandon Kenny Rogers house. If you're black and an athlete or an entertainer they'll let you spend your money, because they've accepted that black people can do this but most black athlete's and entertainers lose all their money and they are happy about that. Both of them got great expensive lawyers and avoided jail but quietly started different business that they were successful at and were lowkey with their wealth. Like wearing a Hublot watch instead of a Rolex. American's don't know what that is.

      ​@@evolve_hq Money talks, wealth whispers. Do something like buy a Hublot watch instead of a Rolex. Most Americans don't know what that is. Don't buy a Bentley, buy something basic like a Mercedes. It says you can afford a lease, like everyone else in America, but not millions a year. In America, never tell white people you've been to Disney World, it's a huge trigger. Although when you go to Disney World it has all races for some reason white Americans think it's only for white people.
