Precisely. "Only" 18% of residents of New Jersey are jews, but that's
enough to put New Jersey in TOP position for education spending, and in the
lowest tenth position for ACT and SAT and NAEP scores, consistently, year
after year.
Israel's scores are already so low that even if it was 100% jews, the scores
couldn't go much lower. A 466 is about ground zero.

The usage is 100% correct, and you know it.

The following is just one example of a no-brainer TIMSS science question,
yet half of American 12th grade girls STILL managed to get it wrong:
G2. When a small volume of water is boiled, a large volume of steam is
produced. Why? A. The molecules are further apart in steam than in water. B.
Water molecules expand when heated. C. The change from water to steam
causes the number of molecules to increase. D. Atmospheric pressure works
more on water molecules than on steam molecules. E. Water molecules repel
each other when heated.
A greater percentage of girls in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany,
Greece, Italy, Norway, Russia, Slovenia, and Sweden, all of whom spend far
less for education than we do, got this answer correct. 87% of the girls
and 89% of the boys in Slovenia, who spends a tenth as much for education as
we do, got this answer correct, so it was obviously a simple question to
many boys and girls around the world.
Yet their TIMSS science score of 469 required absolutely no problems to be
solved and no calculations to be correct.
And Israel got an average science score of 468, 1 point lower than American
12th grade girls.

Which is why he flunked algebra, couldn't get into college, LIED about the
sources of "his" papers and research, and was just as much of a "feeble
minded ... moron" as our Immigration and Naturalization Service considered
him to be then http://christianparty.net/race.htm

This isn't the way it works--unless you're a PLAGIARIST.

They weren't "colleagues". They accused him of STEALING their papers,
published 10 and 20 years earlier.
They told the Nobel Committee about his theft, and presented the CORRECT
data where Einstein made some transcription errors, yet they STILL gave
Einstein the prize.
hmmm, no wonder "feeble minded ... moron" jews are 25% of Nobel Prize
winners--jews LIE.
