At a first glance, whites easily outnumbered all the other races in both high school and college graduation. Each "yes" counts as 2 people, representing a mother and father that graduated. I think this survey is slightly unfair because there was not an equal representation of each race. Based on what history has proved though, I still believe the outcome would have been similar with whites excelling in education.
