at the WH that included democratic Senators. I believe that’s why the WH can’t deny the remarks.

http://www.chron.com/news/article/Data-show-Nigerians-the-most-educated-in-the-U-S-1600808.php

"Although they make up a tiny portion of the U.S. population, a whopping 17 percent of all Nigerians in this country held master's degrees while 4 percent had a doctorate, according to the 2006 American Community Survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. In addition, 37 percent had bachelor's degrees."

"To put those numbers in perspective, 8 percent of the white population in the U.S. had master's degrees, according to the Census survey. And 1 percent held doctorates. About 19 percent of white residents had bachelor's degrees. Asians come closer to the Nigerians with 12 percent holding master's degrees and 3 percent having doctorates."

This is something that everyone should know-- that in fact, native whites are LESS likely to become highly educated that immigrant non-whites.

Of course, that will just get the uneducated whites feeling resentful and threatened, but at least it will be an argument against the idea of racial superiority on the part of US white people.
