Much like the gorilla and parent thread yesterday you can't get off on a technicality with this kind of stuff. The names in the questions are common Hispanic and AA names, not Asian or Caucasian names. The acts described in the questions are the acts of thugs and criminals. It is heavily implied that the people involved in these acts are of two specific races.
Now, if you use your brain with any proficiency whatsoever you consider the context of the "test" - a 20+ year old test that has no business being used in a classroom in the first place - and the intent is clear. Even if it is a joke or a prank, it is racially charged.
The attempt by some of you to spin this kind of stuff as some sort of gotcha that doesn't meet your strict definition of racism is ridiculous.

So you're a racist because you assumed all of that nonsense.
You had to think of and rationalize there different racist thoughts just to link the rest to a race based issue.
The test isn't racist. You are.

You know how to stop it?
Stop naming your kids dumb names and stop criminal activity and you won't be able to be offended Everyday

Told you. You're gotcha is played out. I'm racist because I can CLEARLY see the intent of the test.
People replied that it was fake and couldn't be real because it is THAT racist and stereotypical. It wouldn't be appropriate in an inner-city school math class, much less the language arts class of a teacher in Mobile.
I mean GTFO with that kind of shite.

I don't give two fricks about this kind of stuff. The teacher went out with a bang, as I said earlier, but trying to turn this around and argue that it isn't racist and you must be a racist if you see it that way is asinine. It was an ill-advised, racially-charged joke. Life goes on.

Congratulations on finding a few exceptions. I'm sure we can find a white Tyrone too.
In the last two days we've had people argue that calling the mother of the child who fell into the gorilla exhibit a gorilla herself is not racist and now the test in the OP is not racist.
I hate those who cry wolf about racism as much as the next guy, but defending these kind of things is equally as shitty.

That test is so over the top that it's funny.
If it left out the crack and the hos and used tacos and watermelon (or even just apples and lemonade), it would be far more pernicious and racist.
