Does it? It seems to support my view. Your link shows that in PISA rankings by race in America are in this order:
1. Asian Americans
2. White Americans
3. Multiracial Americans
4. Hispanic Americans
5. African Americans
Ignoring the multiracial category, because I couldn't find a source that included this category, that is exactly how median income differs between races in the US, i.e. Asian Americans have a higher median income that White Americans who have a higher median income than Hispanic Americans who have a higher median income than African Americans [1]. How exactly does this disprove my statement? And what exactly is insulting about saying education outcomes are related to socioeconomic status?

- megaman22 9y agoThe heresy is probably that the higher median income, which correlates with higher test scores, are both caused by another underlying difference. I really haven't decided whether that is culture or genetics, but there's something there.
