There is NO shortage of minorities in the organization that writes the SAT test. This child’s assumption, that whites write the exam and therefore it must somehow favor whites, assumes the racial composition of organizations he knows nothing about... all while he purports to have some insight into racial bias.

>>There is NO shortage of minorities in the organization that writes the SAT test.<<

I remember a classic example of a “racist” test question: (something like) “a grape is to bunch as a boat is to (answer: regatta).

The “analysis” was that most inner city kids have never seen a boat, much less seen a regatta. Well, I grew up poor in the barrio and I 100% guarantee I never saw a regatta until I was in college. How did I know what one was? I READ BOOKS!

I guess reading books is racist now (and it was then).
