[quote=Anonymous] [quote]Ok. What is the history and culture of most of the Hispanic and black students who took the test? [/quote] They are western civilization culture derived. Cultures influenced by the ancient Roman and Greek world and Christianity, with their own local variations. Asian cultures are Confucian derived. Cultures influenced by 5 classics, with their own local variations. [quote]And if cultures approach testing differently, then that inherently makes the test biased? There are cultural barriers for kids who don’t come from a test-focused culture. [/quote] No, it doesn't bias the test itself. It can bias the attitude towards education, or preparation for tests.
