[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From those figures on the NYC test-in experience, it goes to show that AAs have absolutely nothing to fear or lose from test-in schools and in fact may benefit greatly from them.[/quote]

Ha ha - but the NYC specialized schools all use the same test, the SHSAT - what specifically in the SHSAT is the race-based barrier that trips students up?[/quote]

NP.  Nothing other then they are not in the top 3% of test takers which is what is required for admission.  Admission is strictly test score based, no interview, recommendations, grades, etc.[/quote]

Whenever something like this happens, the automatic assumption of some is that there is racial bias in the questions.  So tell us, wouldn't there need to be some kind of universal secret non-AA extracurricular enrichment happening outside of school, which teaches the non-AAs how to decipher the code and answer those magic questions correctly?  Just how does this grand conspiracy work, EXACTLY?[/quote]

How do the allegations of bias hold water?
