@@PlayingDownUnder Sorry - you're totally wrong. The colon fits perfectly, as the second clause is the direct example of the proposition put forward in the previous clause. The colon works pretty much like an "e.g." would, if placed in the same position in the sentence. A semi colon would be totally out of place here. (I should know: I have a Master's in English Language and Literature and I've been teaching English for the last 36 years.)
Sure. The best at crime rates; percentage of incarcerated people; ingrained racism in the national ethos; greedy, obscenely expensive and miserable health care; percentage of obscenely obese people; appalingly high levels of dumbness (in relation to any topic that is not hamburguers, coke and the Kardashians social life)... Shall I go on...?

USA are the best at everything. Also, they are the world.
One thing's for sure: you're the best at pathological jingoism!
@@mancebo7 A semi colon was needed there. Not just a colon.
