Geography of your immigrants = destiny

It took me two days of looking through the voluminous PISA results to create the simple graph below. It shows what the Great and Good don’t want you to know about the 2009 PISA results:When broken down by ethnicity, American students did reasonably well compared to the countries from which their ancestors came.
As my chart shows:
Bottom line: Keeping the U.S. globally competitive turns out to depend less upon our endlessly-discussed need to "fix the schools “and more upon the need to "fix the demographic trends".
But this topic currently unmentionable in public debate and, for many in public life, literally unthinkable.
It might even lead to Americans doing something about immigration policy.

As my chart shows:
Asian Americans outscored every Asian country, and lost out only to the city of Shanghai, China’s financial capital.
White Americans students outperformed the national average in every one of the 37 historically white countries tested, except Finland (which is, perhaps not coincidentally, animmigration restrictionist nation where whites make up about 99 percent of the population).
Hispanic Americans beat all eight Latin American countries.
African Americans would likely have outscored any sub-Saharan country, if any had bothered to compete. The closest thing to a black country out of PISA’s 65 participants is the fairly prosperous oil-refining Caribbean country of Trinidad and Tobago, which is roughly evenly divided between blacks and South Asians. African Americans outscored Trinidadians by 25 points.
