It is this particular narrative, and repeated evidence of it among specific immigrant populations, that the American left rails against. The reason is that it means it isn't "the system" it is culture and attitude that makes or breaks success.

The sad part is that, progressives used to care about culture a lot and had great success in these endeavors. We could easily solved poverty if we became okay with forced cultural change. Of course this is a hard sell in modern America. But it wasn't even just a century ago and progressives were it's biggest proponents.
