Standardized tests are culturally biased and we're originally implemented by a racist.

If the index was normalized for tests, this alleged disparity ( SFFA is the source of this massaged data) would be much lower.

Anyways, the SAT / ACT impact will continue to diminish over time.[/quote]

When I took the SAT  there was a baseball question

You had to know Orioles were American and cardinals were National.[/quote]

You're misremembering.[/quote]

lol no I’m not . Luckily I have 7 brothers and got it right. It was a big discussion after the test which is the only reason I remember.[/quote]

The best example that anyone has been able to pull of a biased question is the regatta analogy- runner:marathon as oarsman:regatta. That question is more than 20 years old and the example that everyone points to. If you league question actually existed, it would be the example.  [/quote]
as an Asian American back in the 80s when I took the SAT, I would not have known what a regatta is, either, and I'm guessing, neither would some middle class white person from flyover country.[/quote]
