Why not let black and hispanic educators try to put together new tests to make sure that there is no racism? Surely they could come up with questions that didn't advantage whites and asians.

Why aren't they telling us the examples of questions that are racist?

Presumably, some questions are racist to different degrees, while other aren't, and statistics would bear this out. Why not just toss out the questions on which blacks and hispanics fared disproportionally poorly, and tell us the results? Hmmm?

Except that any such questions have long been eliminated from standardized tests. Locating such questions is easy: for each group of test takers having the same score, separate the White and Black results, and see if any question was answered wrongly more often by Blacks. then scream.

The reason you don't hear screams about specific questions is because BOTH WHITE AND BLACK LOW-SCORERS MISS THE SAME QUESTIONS

If klansman BillyBob has 8 crosses, and you can burn each cross three times, how many black people can he intimidate?

Of course I'm being an a-hole, but I've been racking my brain and I can't come up with a racist question.

Didn't they actually do that a few years back, that is, explicitly make some test biased FOR blacks and hispanics, and white and asians STILL outperformed them?

Anyone have a link to that?
