Found these firefighter questions. Don’t know if they were on the test in question or not.
Mr. Smith’s multimillion dollar house is burning down. You are the first fire engine on the scene. The hoses are out, your bunker gear is on. Mr. Smith is the CEO of a large company that burns coal. You should:
1. Put the fire out.
2. Let it burn. He’s a capitalist pig.
A cross is burning on the front lawn of a house. There are men in white hoods at the scene when your fire truck arrives. You should:
1. Let the fire burn, don’t want to upset the hooded men.
2. Put the fire out, you’re a firefighter for crying out loud.
A man yelling Allah Akbar runs up to a synagogue with a torch. Your engine happens to be driving by at the time. You should:
1. Run him over first, then exinguish the torch.
2. Stop, let him throw the torch and then try to understand the suffering of the Palestinian people.
Time for bed, Ruth.
LMAO. Man, FReepers are awesome.
Since Asian-Americans are the most recent group to be jailed and impoverished for their race, they should be oppressed and score least, right? Not so. They lead on all such tests. They prove that if blacks and Hispanics worked as hard and long as the Asians, they could also achieve equal or better than whites.

She has enough on her plate without me adding more!
God Bless Ruth!!! Ruth there is still time while you are still drawing breath.

The votes of dumb minorities for Obama has cost them auto manufacturer jobs, construction jobs, service jobs, teacher jobs, and even law enforcement jobs
Obama-McCain will make sure illegal aliens will take those jobs through amnesty if the economy ever starts to improve
Well..... they will get to stay home and watch their new huge HDTV and catch up on Michael Jackson DVDs and the MJ Channel now
‘How can firefighter questions be racist? Unless by that they mean the test is only offered in English.’
If I remember correctly, the firm that was contracted by New Haven to write the test is known for making sure that the tests ARE NOT racially biased in any way. So, if a firm that specializes in creating non-racially biased tests has a test thrown out because it’s considered racially biased, then there can be no such thing as a fair test (based on race). Therefore, all tests are invalid? This is the logic of the 4 Supremes, it seems.
I fully expect next years test to include questions such as
“What Soda does you get wit da numba 2 when you be in the Popeyes drive-tru?”
A- Grape Soda
B- Orange Soda
C- Red Creme Soda
D- There be no Grape o the Orange soda at the Popeye’s cause the Craka’s who be owning dem be racist.
‘It was racist because both whites and minorities have to take it.’
It would help if a copy of this test was posted online so the masses could see for themselves if it’s biased or not. That’ll never happen, but it sure would be a fun exercise...
The really sad thing is that the less intelligent people who got certain jobs ended up causing trouble, accidents, but could hardly ever be fired!
Dinner time for me!
This moron refuses to consider the facts of the case.
Perhaps she was napping during arguments.
You mean they aren’t?
According to the dipsy doodle powers that be, a test question in which, for example, a computer is mentioned is racist because some socio-economically disadvantaged people might not know what a computer is because they're too poor to own one.
Or if a question has a person in it named Tom or George, this is inherently racist because some cultures may be completely unfamiliar with names such as those, and so the test taker might be confused by this.
Yes, folks, IT'S THAT STUPID.
According to this stupid logic, you must then have separate tests for city people and country people; wealthy, middle class, and low-income people; attractive people and homely people; outgoing people and shy people; short and tall; thin and fat; and on and on and on.
There are a zillion differences in all the test takers. Everyone grew up differently and have different experiences and different educations, different everything.
I want to see EXACTLY where and how blacks are somehow cheated on this test or any other test.
Also, if you find gravity too oppressive, or the speed of light too fast, file a complaint with the Universal Constants Value Board.
Idiots.
"Slap to side of head" - just goes to show you the subtleties of racism. Don't you realize that these tests were offered on WHITE PAPER?!?! I mean how much more racist can you get, why not offer these tests on BLACK PAPER! This is obviously what the lady jsutice was talking about - right???
75% of the NBA is African-American. And the articlae i got tha from called it “diversity”
You mean they aren’t?
As with all Democrats, it all depends on who they are speaking to. See Obama's "bitter gun and religion clinger" comment. He saved that comment for San Francisco. Actually, I'm amazed he didn't show up at that event holding hands with Larry Sinclair.
You nailed it. Divide and conquer. Promulgate the myth that class and color are the true separating factors among men, instead of intelligence and character.
