  I fail to see how "it's not the case". That link very clearly shows that White Americans and Asian Americans vastly outperform African Americans and Hispanic Americans. Asian Americans are #4 on that list and White Americans are #16, bested only by a handful of Asian and European countries that are notorious for their stellar education systems. Meanwhile, Hispanic Americans are around #50 and African Americans around #60 on that list.

    Your original comment said "If whites have high test scores while non-whites don't" Whites do not have the highest test scores. Are you implying Asian Americans live in wealthier areas than whites?

      Based on your link, it very clearly shows that some groups in America excel in America's education system while other groups don't. I'm not sure why you're so intent on splitting hairs about that. By the way, yes, Asian Americans typically do live in higher-income areas when compared to other racial groups in America. Very few Asian Americans live in rural areas or in states that are known to have poor education distributions (eg deep south). Asian Americans overwhelmingly live in LA, NYC, Massachusetts, Dallas, Houston, or the Bay Area, which are certainly more "wealthier area" than places like rural Alabama, West Virginia, or Montana where poorer whites live. Asian Americans have the highest income levels out of any racial group in America.
