Why do American whites and Asians top the charts if they're terrible students? https://xcancel.com/cremieuxrecueil/status/1732087511327908128
Probably Jewish or sons of immigrants
reply
That's a decent guess.
I'd also point out that the chart is not topped by "American Asians and Whites". It is clearly topped by Asians, in general, followed by whites, in general.

I think it disproves that the thesis our students are terrible if we're in the top 10 of the entire world.
reply
Since most American students are worse than most Asian students (which is where most people live), American students can be considered to be not great students.
Also, this is a test of aptitude, which is different from being a good student.

US Asians
US Whites
US 2 or more races
etc

Who are US Asians surrounded by? All the other Asians.
US whites do appear to outperform the other whites. As you note, some of that is the high portion of jews. The other part is that Europe and Canada suck. I never said they didn't.

I know you never said it and I didn't mean to imply otherwise
That graph was hard to read, I'm getting more and more far sighted
edit: I'm sure there are Jews in Europe and Canada bringing up the average or median
