Hey, maybe we should have a FR thread literacy test! Like, for example, “how do you avoid repeating the same lengthy boiler plate verbage in four replies?”

It wasn’t boiler plate. It was from an actual test in Alabama, that showed how white people were given two simple sentences to read, and blacks had to read aloud from a long, complicated passage of legalese.
I deliberately posted it as a reply to each person who was (ignorantly) dismissing the test as “trivial” and “easy”.
