That is an important point though, even if white (or more accurately, affluent regardless of race) kids score better on tests, that does not mean it is the fault of the tests. It does underrepresented groups no favors to pretend that objective metrics won't matter in life, their potential boss or clients or landlord or mortgage lender won't be interested in hearing that it was society's fault they failed to deliver on their duties.
