So we are moving the goal post from American to white American?
I have traveled both within the US and Europe. If my life depended on how well someone off the street did on a test, I’m picking Swiss or Scandinavian every time.
How top performing white Americans compare to their European counterpart is a whole different conversation.
It’s just comparing like for like across cultures. Not explicitly white. African Americans outperform Africans on educational test results as well. Same with Chinese Americans
That’s not how you framed the initial post, but fine. Yes, people have better outcomes in the country with the biggest capital markets and the most freedom.
I doubt that’s what foreigners have in mind when they say “Americans are dumb”
They are likely referring to the average Walmart goer that barely graduated HS and doesn’t know the 3 branches of government.
