Understanding the inherent privilege of standardized testing is something I think most people should look into.
But it’s the poverty and environment. Tests are not biased against black people, kids with bad homes/schools just do worse on those tests. I am all aboard for discussions about systemic inequities in our country, but it’s dumb to ascribe those qualities to a standardized test.

…starting with those who believe it’s akin to modern day slavery.

Part of the problem is our government doesn't see it a priority to uplift the inner city poor. They outnumber the rural poor by a lot because of the population metrics of a city. And most inner city poor are brown skinned folks.
There've been some interesting studies about how drastic the climb between wealthy black and poor black is vs. wealthy white and poor white that paints a picture more damning than I do. But I'm not versed enough to talk about it.

He's right. We round that shit up. It's not because of the 0.4 either. Anything over 35 is getting rounded up to 40.

The Okie migration (roughly 1935–1940, with some continuing into the 1940s) involved an estimated 300,000–500,000 people heading to California. It was one of the largest internal U.S. migrations of the era, immortalized in John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath.
The term Okie here is broadly construed to include not just dust bowl migrants from Oklahoma, but also Arkansas, Texas, and Missouri.
The children of more recent migrants know how to round up.
