Your kid's SAT score depends on your income and where you live

    12,340 or so? Just a quick math thingy in my head.

  2. Interesting article on race:

    https://www.vox.com/policy-and-poli...arceration-income-chetty-hendren-jones-porter

    My takeaways:

    - No real difference in many outcomes for black women vs white women
    - A ridiculous disparity in most outcomes for black men vs white men
    - If you assume women and men are equally capable of earning higher incomes (many women now outearn men), this means it can't be genetics since black men and black women are genetically very similar

    Last paragraph of the article.

    Are you going to reply by posting graphs with no context and then make me go look for that context to support some racist position you believe?

  5. Again third party altered content you are citing. This is what is part of your last referenced paragraph. "according to media reports". Why you refuse to go to the source? Afraid you will be contradicted? Check out word by word what the director of the SAT test board has to say himself. Don't you think he can communicate the intent much better than CNN, Bloomberg, CBS?

    I think you are actually afraid to see for yourself that this score that you seem to welcome bears strong racist motivations.

    I prefer not to further converse with you on this topic unless you can honor and respect original sources of information. If I wanted to expose myself to fact spin all day long then I could easily do that through simpler means.

    You have not quoted anything original other than to put some graphs from the Wall Street journal. Graphs with no context.

    Whereas my article directly quoted the head of the College Board.

  7. I sent you the links to the original publication and the interview with the board director. Why do you see the need to lie?

    Just because race is not one of the 13 DIRECT inputs to the score does not in any mean imply that it's not a factor indirectly (statistically speaking). Linguistically you are right. But race very much plays a huge role in this score because race in the first place to a large extend determines where you are born into and how you grow up. So, we can hide behind terms like parental income, school district, crime rates all day but they all perfectly link up and highly correlate with race. Why that is the case is an entirely different debate.
