To say that an entire group of people are bad at something based on their ethnicity is the very definition of racism.
If they were saying that then we could easily fix the problem logically but according to their thinking the ONLY way an entire group of people could be worse at something than another group is if the dominant group is holding them back.

Are we asking them to solve for Malcom X?

We’ll eventually dumb down everything until doctors are signing their scripts with an X. Get it!

Tbird, I feel for you when non-sense like this is presented. We all know how truly racist this less than subtle low expectation bs is. What they are actually saying is blacks aren't capable of doing well in Algebra and that is such racist hooey. It is the same way the left tries to couch "blacks and minorities aren't capable of getting a state issued ID thus we can't have voter ID laws" in order to use this to fricking cheat at the polls. It pisses me off and I can only imagine how it has to make you feel.
It cheapens and waters down when true racism and discrimination occurs as well. I had a conversation just yesterday with a co-worker. We were talking about a back and forth joke we have going on and I made some reference to keeping some of my stuff hostage and acted like I was calling making a hostage demand in a mid-east terrorist voice. She is on the SJW side of things and she wound up saying what I said was racist...wrong thing to say to me. I immediately shot back that Islam was not a race and that what she said is the exact reason that word has been so cheapened that it means basically nothing these days.
Eventually the wolf comes...but good luck getting any help with all the false alerts nowadays.

enter the soft bigotry of lowered expectations
Is it better to have high expectations for a group with cognitive deficiency?
To suggest that kids with sub 85 IQ's can do algebra if they apply themselves nonsense.
Expectations have been lowered because the ability is not there for a large part of that population.

Legally she is 100% right, logically she is retarded. Having a required class that black people don't/can't pass as often as white people is against both state and federal law. I know it is stupid but it is the law.
Not saying you’re wrong. I could be ignorant to these laws. Can you cite them, please?

In the real world of knowledge as power, probably half the College Degrees out there are not worth the paper they are written on. Diploma Mills...technical pre-requisite for Government employment. Lowering standards won't change the Law of Nature.

how can that be?
Algebra is what it is.
You bother to learn it or you don't.
Take their tv's and phones away.
Then lets see who can memorize the rules of algebra.
I'm baffled by the notion that math testing can be done in a racist way.

Exactly. Especially since my mom has a math degree from Michigan, and one of my sisters is a semester away from earning her math degree at Baylor. We all grew up loving mathematics--the very suggestion that an algebraic requirement is a "civil rights issue" makes me want to spit in abject derision irl

Wait... I thought female African Americans were solely and exclusively responsible for performing the math necessary to get us to the moon?!

Boyz in the Hood:
"Those tests are culturally biased; the only universal part is Math."
Apparently that is no longer Universal as well.

Most of this stuff is just effort.
If Lou Diamond Phillips can learn AP Calculus in one semester, then Algebra isn't some Albatross.
We're not talking about Quantum Physics or Biochemisty.
