What he found was surprising.<p>"Asian-Americans outperform all Asian students except for Shanghai-Chinese. White Americans outperform students from all 37 predominantly white nations except Finns, and U.S. Hispanics outperformed the students of all eight Latin American countries that participated in the tests.<p>"African-American kids would have outscored the students of any sub-Saharan African country that took the test (none did) and did outperform the only black country to participate, Trinidad and Tobago, by 25 points."<p>Here is the chart: <a href="http://www.vdare.com/sailer/101219_pisa.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.vdare.com/sailer/101219_pisa.htm</a>
