Selected 2012 PISA scores by race and country Science: US average: 497 US white: 528 US asian: 546 US multiracial: 511 US hispanic: 462 US black: 439 Shanghai: 580 Hong Kong: 555 Singapore: 551 Japan: 547 Korea: 538 Vietnam: 528 Finland: 545 Estonia: 541 Poland: 526 Canada: 525 Germany: 524 France: 499 Math: United States: 481 US White: 506 US asian: 549 Multiracial: 492 Hispanic: 455 Black: 421 Shanghai: 613 Singapore: 573 Hong Kong: 561 Korea: 554 Japan: 536 Vietnam: 511 Switzerland: 531 Holland: 523 Finland: 519 Canada: 518 Poland: 518 Austria: 506 Australia: 504 Denmark: 500 France: 495 Britain: 494 So yes, most of Europe performs better on PISA test scores, which probably reflect the general performance on math and science, than the United States. But if US whites were their own country, they would outperform most of Europe. US Asians perform between Japan and Korea on math and science. Whenever comparing countries, you need to look at the races. Danes may percieve themselves as more intelligent than Americans based on standardized test scores buttressing a political sense of superiority. But since Denmark is overwhelmingly white, we can be fairly certain that US whites perform better on math and science tasks than Danish whites.
