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]

What are Asians and Whites in common but so much different for Blacks? culturally

What biase are we talking about?  [/quote]

What?  :?:  :shock:  :shock: [/quote]
DP.. apparently, SATs are culturally bias, hence Black people score lower on SATs.   But since Asian Americans score higher on SATs that must mean that they have more in common with white people.

That's the argument.  And yes, it's laughable and ignorant.[/quote]

Then what is your reason for AA people scoring lower?

Go ahead, say it out loud.  I dare you.  You know you think it. Have some courage and show everyone what you really think.

And that, right there, ladies and gents, is why colleges have the current policy.[/quote]
How would anyone other than the kid know why they score lower?

I'll ask you this:  how does an admission office who has never met the student give that student a low "personality" score even as the interviewer gave that student a high personality score.

Go ahead, say it out loud.  I dare you.  You know you think it. Have some courage and show everyone what you really think.

The argument that black kids don't do as well on SATs compared to Asian kids must mean that the SAT is culturally bias is a dumb argument, as if an Asian American is culturally closer to white America than a black kid whose ancestors have probably lived in the US for many generations.[/quote]

I have no idea why they score lower.  I was not making a claim to know.  PP made a claim what they knew it wasn't.

You understand that difference, right?

And we are not talking about "the kid" taking the test, which is an absurd reference.  We're talking about races of people and a policy designed by colleges to ensure they can get the students they want to build the class they need.  These questions of why are gigantic academic and intellectual ones which we may never solve in our lifetime.  However, we can ensure those reasons - whatever they are - don't continue to hurt people and stop colleges from building the class they want.[/quote]
The "build the class they want" argument is the same argument that white people used way back to implement holistic admissions to keep out the Jews.  It's basically social engineering in favor of one side over the other.[/quote]
