[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And one more thing, none of you have seen ETS’s evidence of her alleged cheating. But you credit their claim immediately, right? Typical. T[b]he letter they sent her is a stock letter that most students of her background do not wherewithal to challenge.

This is true.  Big jumps in scores get the letter.  [b]It has nothing to do with race.[/b][/quote]
PP here. No, that’s not what I said. I think race absolutely has to do with who gets the stock letter trying to intimidate them into abandoning “too high” test scores. And I suspect that if ETS does not back down (which I am 100% sure it will in order to avoid being exposed during discovery), we will find out that black people are more likely to be flagged on little to no evidence beyond mere increases in scores that can be explained by hard work. Your race neutral Utopia does not exist.[/quote]

Why do you think that race has something to do with who gets the letter?

There have been lots of posts on college confidential over the years about being flagged for score jumps and I never got the impression from those posts that there was a racial connection with getting the stock letter.

You are really arguing that there is not a racial connection because no one on College Confidential posts you claim to have read said there is a racial connection?[/quote]

No, I am asking what evidence there is that there is a racial connection. Of the people I know of in real life who have received this letter, none were black. So I’m wondering if there is evidence that can be cited that shows that the letter is sent more commonly to test takers who are black.
