One last thing: while overall homicide rates are higher in the US than in France, it's important to remember that those homicides are not distributed (even close to) evenly across the population. If you're arguing with an American on the Internet about gun control, particularly here on Ars Technica, there's a good chance that their first-hand experience of gun violence isn't substantially different from yours. As with many things, there's a disconnect between the personal or communal experience of violence and the broader voting patterns that maintain a particular status quo.

Similarly, when discuss US education system, when you break it down by race, the performance of US students are usually about equal to or superiors to those students in their ancestral continents.

As a whole, students in the United States lagged the best Asian and European nations in the TIMSS international math and science test. However, broken down by race, US Asians scored comparably to Asian nations, white Americans scored comparably to the best European nations. Although some racial generally score lower than whites in the US, they scored as well as whites in other European nations. Hispanic Americans averaged 505, comparable to students Austria and Sweden, while African Americans at 482 were comparable to Norway and Ukraine.
