There are a lot more cultural issues at play that effect the education performance of the US compared to Finland. The US has a far more heterogeneous population than Finland, so directly comparing them doesn't mean a lot. It would be more appropriate to compare Finland to Quebec, given the two have similar racial demographic breakdowns.

  Racial mixture has Quebec being nearly 90% Caucasian.

    That's definitely not the same thing as being 90% plus ethnic Finnish.

      It's not. But I said "racial background" not "ethnic background."
