You overstate your case again. US students of Asian origin slightly underperform Asia in math (but outperform all non-Asian nations). Also, US students of European origin outperform all but 6 countries with similar demographics.

The other participant did not verify that it was caused by school underperformance, merely that I misread the numbers. The correction puts Asian Americans at #5 in the world rather than #4. It does not change the fact that Asian Americans are still 32 points higher than the first non-Asian nation (Hungarians). Nor does it change the fact that European Americans are #1 among European nations + Anglosphere.

Incidentally, any claims one makes to the inherent superiority of Asian education systems must be limited to math and science. Asian Americans are #1 in combined literacy (#2 if you consider Shanghai as a separate group), and European Americans are #2 among primarily European-descended nations.
