If EVERYTHING is equal in the high school then I guarantee the "Gaps" wont be there. For example a boarding school...but we don't know what environment those kids go home to.
Its either that or you believe blacks and Mexicans are inferior to whites and Asians are superior to whites genetically?
The Uranium question WOULD be on standardized tests like the SAT which is where you got your "Blacks are inferior" statistics from.
And I have seen racially biased questions like
A Marathon is to Running like a Regatta is to _______?
Tell me how the hell a minority is going to know or be exposed to a Regatta?
Its the equivalent of asking white suburbanites in Connecticut to name 5 Tupac albums.
So yes Id have to see the tests first...but being that its a test to be a cop/firefighter there's no excuse to fail it since its not very difficult.
I'm not a minority and have never been exposed to a regatta, but I know what it is.....So what's your point?
This similar thing is happening in other cities regarding civil service tests.
This are government tests and they are biased against minorities ?
*shakes head*. Just get rid of all the tests and hang a sign up on the door "Only minorities need apply". That's what they really want so just do it already.

I've never been exposed to a Regatta, but I can watch a news report on TV and learn about the Regatta Cup. Do blacks not own television sets? Herman Melville didn't have to be a whale to write, "Moby Dick."
What do you people think of the military entrance exam? Do you think it correlates in any way to intelligence? If not, then should we get rid of it? Or should it be changed? In what way?
"Nearly 40 percent of black students and 30 percent of Hispanics don't pass, compared to 16 percent of whites.... The average score for blacks is 38 and for Hispanics is 44, compared to whites' average score of 55. The scores reflect the similar racial gaps on other standardized exams."
I mean, if the military exam is nothing but a knowledge test espousing the racial gaps in America's education system, then there has to be some kind of test that actually gauges real intelligence that blacks and whites would have to score relatively equally on? Does such a test exist?
Can someone direct me at any standardized test at all that blacks score as well as whites?
I'll give you a hint, there isn't one. There is nothing but a bunch of racial apologists, sitting around blaming racism, discrimination, cultural or economic differences for anything and everything. These people honestly want you to believe that we are all born exactly equal and only our environment determines our potential. But is that what they really believe? Or is that only what they want to believe, or what they want us to believe for some egalitarian goal?
If you want to understand how politics and wishful thinking about the issue of genetics really works, you should read a little about Trofim Lysenko. His "scientific breakthroughs" set back real Soviet genetic science half a century. Thats what you people remind me of when you just blindly deny everything for the sake of political correctness.
