Oh please...you bring up race in your argument, then act all self righteous when I thing you have a false premise. You can't be American right? Anyone from over here liberal or conservative would at least have understood that I am saying certain groups can score substancially lower on tests and still get into colleges/police depts etc with those scores, where another group would not have a chance.
Debate away if it is justified or not but it is fact. Btw I spent 6 years as a case worker in the worst areas in nyc (bed stuy and bushwick). So my opinions are not out of a text book they are out of experience (oh and I do believe in some limited affirmative action too).
