Yeah, and my original point was that these tests don’t discriminate based on skin color or ancestry. What you’re saying is that different races have different aggregate outcomes, but that that is due to different aggregate income levels. That doesn’t really sound like you disagree with my original point.

No. I'm saying that income plays a larger role than dialect. Dialect still plays a role. If dialect differences were accounted for, speakers of non-standard dialects would have greater aggregate scores.

[toasterlovin]

But you’re saying that dialect is caused by income!

[learc83]

No. I'm saying some of the differences in dialect between 2nd generation and later Hispanic and Asian immigrants are caused by income.
