You realize this test was written in response to people saying normal word problems were racist because minority students weren’t familiar with the things in the word problems. Bad taste? Yes. Misguided? Yes. What people are talking about when they say math word problems are racist. No.Math itself is NOT racist in any way, shape or form.
See Below for Word Problem Racism.
Word Problems, that bring in Culture and Reading Skills, now that's a different Animal.
Clearly Bob's Word Problems below speak clearly to the Hood, the Illegals and the Rednecks.
This is CLEARLY racist against the white Christian named Luke, or John, or Gay Paul.

That is a worn out crock of shit.The math is racist argument comes from the fact that most math related word problems in standardized tests are written in ways that most poor people can't clearly understand. It's not racism per se, but more that the people writing the questions write them from their own experiences and often include things that people who are less well off might not have any experience.
The fact that non-white people make up the vast majority of poor people makes some claim that it's racism but it's more about well off people expecting everyone to have a clear understanding of things that really only people who are well off would have any experience.
The issue isn't really racism in this case it's a lack of economic diversity In the types of questions that are included in standardized tests.

Apparently 2+2=I can’t do this problem because I’m a minority and don’t understand proper English. And you’re racist.2 plus 2 = the new N word.
Yeah that’s wildly untrue.You sure about that? Howz about some nice dot.gov type websites to back up that claim?

Oh I get it.You realize this test was written in response to people saying normal word problems were racist because minority students weren’t familiar with the things in the word problems. Bad taste? Yes. Misguided? Yes. What people are talking about when they say math word problems are racist. No.
We can’t correct the blacks butchering of the English language because that’s racist, therefore their inability to do word math problems is racist so we shouldn’t teach anyone English or math because the blacks can’t do it. The day were all dumb n1gg3rs will be the day of equality.
Of course. We can’t have people actually depend on their accomplishments. We have to equal that out by race or the minorities won’t feel so good about themselves. Just go AX a black woman.Dats racist!!!!

Did you read the article?They will "fix" this perceived racial inequity by lowering standards. Lower standards naturally result in lower performance. The converse is also true.
The article. Did you read it?It's not logical for them to wish all races to get equal scores in all subjects. I am great at math but not so good at basketball.
Cool.The real reason for the disparity is not the math, it's the upbringing and lack of two-parent households.
So how about that article, tho?
Oh, well then. Damn. You got me there. Let’s stop teaching English and math altogether. Some guy missed an apostrophe on a message board. That should obviously mean we shouldn’t even try. So racist.we're
Or whites are simply vastly superior
That's it.
You sound drunk. None of this makes sense.I'm wicked smart BECAUSE I'm white? I could've not read those 10,000 books? Or never brought home a C on my report card cause my parents would have made me suffer for failure? All I had to do was be white? This is bull$H!T! My latest tool, given to me is a strap of metal bent 90 degrees opposite at both ends. It's meant to go against the wall and pull flooring tight. MY friend gave it to me as he is moving so I brought him to my truck, opened a certain tool box, threw my new tool into said tool box while I made giant "gulp" sound. But then my friend is white. Where was I? Oh yea, I'm wicked smart because I'm white. Who wants to know how to build a pyramid?
