[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Per the report above, in Michigan in 2022, 3 pct of African Americans broke 1200, 19 pct of whites did and 47 pct of Asians did. Sorry, it’s just reality. Now you can argue it’s because of racism (America is systematically Asian supremacist I guess) but the issue at hand is that blacks and Hispanics do consistently underperform on standardized tests and not slightly. It’s enormous. [/quote]
All this report proves is that less economically privileged communities underperform compared to more affluent groups.  Also in Michigan in 2022, the median income for black families was $41,570; for white families, $70,144; and for Asian families, $96,741.  Wealthy kids do better on the SAT, and wealthy kids go to top universities.  As reported in the [i]New York Times[/i] in 2017, more students at 38 colleges -- including five in the Ivy League -- came from families in the top one percent of the income scale than from the entire bottom sixty percent.
