[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So how does explain the performance and being identified as "gifted" for Asians? I'm Asian and NEVER had an Asian teacher/prof until college.[/quote] Yes, and Asians are identified as gifted at twice the rate of White students.[/quote] The claim keeps being made that testing is rigged to benefit whites, yet that can not be the case when it's Asians who do best on testing. And clearly it cannot be "white" cultural bias or modeling either when many of the Asians scoring high on testing are 1.5 and 2nd generation whose parents were foreign born and who have had minimal acculturation to western "white culture" so I see it as a specious, intellectually lazy claim.[/quote]
