Cameroonians are a very small minority of the African Immigrants here in the United States. Until this century, many Cameroonians were from the South western Region of the country. Even Back home, this region is only 1/5 the total area of what makes up the United Republic of Cameroon - A union That came about from the desire of the Anglophones wishing to join their brothers in East Cameroon and a debacle of the United Nations which did not fully understand the make up of that area of Africa.
Thus you have the only African country that is made up of a Predominantly French influenced Cameroonian section and a minority British influenced Cameroonian section in the South Western Region. It was therefor not surprising that many Cameroonians who first ventured to the United States were of the English influenced Breed. Most of them, including myself came here on our own, without National scholarships as opposed to the French speaking Cameroonians. Recently, some arrests and convictions of Cameroonians have embarrassed the Cameroonian community here and we all are taking about the effect of such behaviour on us all who enjoy the benevolence of our host Country - The United States of America.
