Thought this graph was fairly interesting. 60% of people with scores above 750 on the SAT Math section are Asian compared with being 6% of the population.

Especially considering Math is so white-centric according to that professor.

I feel like there is something wrong with how that graph is set up. Not the conclusions.

Something isn't adding up

Math is inherently racist. It's science.

It starts at home.

The solution to this chart is the answer to this question by the parents to their kids: "Did you get your math homework done?"

That is, this is a cultural issue. Math is highly regarded in Asian culture. Pretty important in white culture and it tails off from there. There is no correlation with the melanin concentration in your skin. Asian have more melanin than whites. It's cultural.

Democrats are inherently racist.

What Democrats have done to black Americans is criminal.

When I took the SAT way back when , I scored extremely well in the Math, but only average in the English portion.

Am I supposed to blame someone else just for my English scores, but not the math scores?

They must have done a major overhaul on the scoring.

I was top 1-2% overall when I took it, and I would have missed that first bar. And my math was higher than my verbal.

If 33% of whites are scoring above 750, they dumbed that test way down.

Edit: I now realize this post is dumb. : :

this graph should be encouraging to the woke anti-racist because of the 2% of blacks scoring over 750.

they seem to be believe its impossible for blacks to score that high because the test is racist, but this shows that it is possible.

No way you could have been in top 1% and think 33% of whites who took the test scored above 750.

That's not what this graph shows lol.

It means of the people scoring above a 750, 33% were white. To get above a 750 on SAT Math is around 98th percentile.

So if 10000 people took the SAT, 200 would have got a 750 or above. Of those 750 people, 250 would be white and 450 would be Asian.
