The point is if everyone is getting equal opportunity? Canada is a lot better at providing equal schooling ot the rich and poor (this has been shown in the recent article called "Education Superpower" which was about Canadian school systems).

In the US, ghetto schools do a terrible job in encouraging students to go to university. I visited the high ranked Columbia University in New York, and found very few black students there. Despite the fact that a significant percentage of New York's population was black.
