I don’t think any culture is better at taking those tests than others.

Cool.

That aligns you with a small handful of right-wing “thinkers” who are desperate to prove that black people are just naturally inferior to everyone else. This opinion is based on one paper, published in 1980, that reads like it was written by a KKK member cosplaying as an academic, but gets trotted out as a counter-argument by the types of websites that rant about “the left” “dismissing college”.

All I meant is that people, regardless of background, do not usually take those tests. Thus nobody can be prepared for it.

With your comment as context, yes that’s absolutely what I said.
