Why else does anyone in California get rid of anything? Because it’s racist.

You should probably take a look at the demographics of the top scores of the standardized tests like the SAT. You're not going to find the race you think at the top.

Do you think I wouldn’t know?

Pray tell which race do you think I’m going to expect to find?

Because let me tell you, the demographics are pretty much exactly what I expected. And my response to that is…so what?

If anything you’re telling on yourself with your statement.

Rather than have me guess about what you know, would you care to explain what you meant by your original comment then? What exactly were you referring to as "racist"?

I read his comment as tongue-in-cheek.

Why was SAT gotten rid off - testing is racist.

Why is 6-8th grade accelerated math pathway gotten rid off - math is racist
