  • If anything the IQ disparity shows systemic racism in education (and/or the broader environment, in ways that effect the outcomes of education) and even then it’s a stupid metric and we shouldn’t care about it.

    I’ve even seen testing scores that showed white kids ranking higher, and it turned out the discrepancy was due to the black kids having a slightly different dialect, which was being marked as wrong—i.e. the test was ranking “how white you sound” and so naturally, white kids scored higher.
