SAT Turns Racist...Black to Have an “Adversity Score”

[PoliticalChic]

White people pretending they know the black experience

lol

Hilarious

So human beings cannot empathize with other human beings unless they have the exact same backgrounds?

You do realize that that is a basic axiom to every racist ideological system, right?

Two stars for this post, brother.

Of course not.

But would you trade places with a similar black person?

Of course you wouldn't.

99.99% of all white people bitching about reverse racism wouldn't either.

That's not what you claimed: "White people pretending they know the black experience."


Good to see the retreat to a new position.

In fairness, nor would I.

It's awesome being a white guy in America.

Oooops!


There go your Liberal creds.

Well the racist anti-white PC March continues at the collegiate level. SAT to give an “adversity score” based on how much crime and poverty is in your zip code. This is the outgrowth of the absolute unadulterated bullshit known as “white privilege.” Democrats will embrace it because they don’t think people should overcome adversity and instead everyone should get a participation trophy.

Here's the problem with that.

Kids in good zip codes get better schools. They get tutors. They get SAT test coaching... The problem with going on the SAT is that the SAT represents affluence, not potential. It's also the problem of an education system that "Teaches to the Test".

And even that wasn't good enough, since we had people bribing universities to get their kids in.

I don't think this is a good solution, but at least we are acknowledging the disparities in the society to start with.

SAT to Give Students ‘Adversity Score’ to Based on Social and Economic Background

The College Board plans to assign an adversity score to every student who takes the SAT to try to capture their social and economic background, jumping into the debate raging over race and class in college admissions.

Wow, the racists & bigots are out in style.

Say there are two students under consideration:

1) Spoiled rich kid from top prep school with SAT prep help, good grades, etc & a SAT Score of say 1450 out of 1600.

2) A kid from the inner city with good grades in the public school system, no SAT help etc & a SAT score of 1350.

Obviously, the best choice is the kid from the inner city. He has the most potential.

Anyone who thinks colleges just look at grades & scores is a moron.

If this new SAT aspect is accurate & can put these other factors into a numerical scale, great.

So...only black students will get the adversity score? Only blacks have adverse social and economic backgrounds? Interesting that you believe that.........looks like YOU are the one making some pretty damning assumptions.

Yep. I’m not dumb enough to see behind this ******* bullshit ruse.

Interesting....so you believe that only black students are in adverse social and economic situations. Why do you think that is?

No. They think they were born victims and are looking for handouts.

Not at all. These are kids looking to better themselves through education.

You analysis is just your inbred racism.

Actually, no.


The problem is that Liberals and morons.....is that redundant?......will continue to provide excuses for not putting in the efforts and personal responsibility necessary.



"At present, thanks to racial preferences, many black high school students know that they don’t need to put in as much scholarly effort as non-“students of color” to be admitted to highly competitive colleges. The adversity score will only reinforce that knowledge. That is not a reality conducive to life achievement."

"So what accounts for the poverty-defying trajectory of the Fujianese kids?
The answer is fourfold.


First is a cultural trait that has become a cliché in the model-minority discussion: a zealous focus on education. .... education for the next generation is close to a religion..... One recent college graduate, now a public school math teacher, told me that his mother would wake him at 5 AM to go over math problems—when he was in the first and second grade. ..
.... one kindergartner’s mother said, in faltering English: “My son must go Harvard.”


a. No matter how poor they are, parents find a way to get their fourth- or fifth-graders into test-prep classes. WNYC found one Sunset Park family who put aside $5,000 for classes for their three sons out of a yearly household income of just $26,000.


b. ....Chinese kids had the longest commutes to high school. Most parents would be uneasy about an hour-and-a-half trip every day from the middle of Brooklyn, say, to Bronx Science. Kasinitz found that Latino parents, in particular, like to keep their high schoolers close to home.
Chinese parents weren’t deterred by distance—or by much else."

Why do you believe (I almost said 'think') it is necessary for you to prove how dumb you are, each and every day?


You can save yourself the effort......the reputation is eternal.

yeah, that's wonderful. No, really. Are you this detached from the reality of what it's like to be poor and black in this country? We've spent 400 years building this cage...

It's really not valid to compare the experience of Asian Americans, who were never slaves, never had anything like Jim Crow, really didn't have to riot in the streets to get even basic humanity.

At present, thanks to racial preferences, many black high school students know that they don’t need to put in as much scholarly effort as non-“students of color” to be admitted to highly competitive colleges. The adversity score will only reinforce that knowledge. That is not a reality conducive to life achievement."

Really, what is this based on?

The ironic thing is, white folks already have preferences in terms of wealth and affluence. Little Timmy gets a crappy score on his PSAT, they make him take remedial tutoring.

And if you are really struggling, mommy and daddy can pay a coach to put you on a team no one is paying attention to.

But you keep pretending that you are the "good minority".

I understand that you can neither read nor comprehend the facts......and that truth is never a filter for what you post, ....but I just PROVED that poverty is no excuse.

Now, get lost.

actually, it kind of is... since you don't have the same access to resources.

Poverty combined with systematic institutionalized racism starting with founding documents that enshrined your second class citizenship, um, yeah, that's kind of a big deal.

If you had to put up with the nonsense black folks have to put up with on a daily basis, you'd lose your shit.

Oh, noes, Joe said a bad word!!!!

One of the big indicators is being from a family where you may very well be the first to go to college (or even graduate from high school)...including having parents (or parent) who is functionally illiterate.

Hey Markle

Do you think you would have been as successful if you were born black, selling RE in Frenchtown or on Orange Ave?

Of course not.

We have many successful members of our board. They sell property all over our county. I have no doubt that I'd have been successful!

 

[Markle]

And even that wasn't good enough, since we had people bribing universities to get their kids in.

That would be far left Progressives bribing people to get their kids into elite schools.

 

[Markle]

Why should any of that matter in an effort to admit the most qualified students to a university?
