A lot related to IQ tests within a country that has the same language group relates to verbal comprehension. Even math relates to that. Blacks speak a rudimentary nonstandard English that doesn’t even include some of the concepts that would be required for them to understand or express themselves in an IQ test. They can even barely sort of shapes because they’re not sure how to classify them.

Blacks need to be taught Standard English.

I am having difficulty parsing the first statement, in order to come to an agreement on your second statement. Are you black?

Language holds back the hispanic population. Prepositions in English can switch the meaning of a phrase. The tests often have convoluted sentences, so they're sometimes testing reading comprehension, not math or thought process.

The time spent at home speaking a simplified language holds them back. Blacks, not so much, as many blacks often score well in reading, but not so well in analytic parts of tests.
