Re: Why must some always cry foul?
So what do ya think about the issue I posted Dave?

What he said. <br /><br />Its ok Mr.Chavez,you just keep taking the test,dont worry about your score, we will keep lowering the standards so that we can have a "diverse" police force.<br /><br /><br />My theroy is this:<br /> If you are a 72 year old black lesbian immigrant with aids in a wheel chair, and you were abused as a child, you can have ANYTHING you want.<br /><br />Originally posted by roscoe:<br /> ""After an 18-month investigation, the Justice Department found that the police force did not reflect the diversity of the citys population because of how the math test was graded.""<br /><br /><br />So what.
As I wrote initially, I agree with Boomyal that math is universal. It does not matter if you are Latino, Chinese, Mexican, Indian, White, African American, Slavic or Purple, two plus two is four, e=mc2 and x+y=z. If you aren't smart enough to know that, then maybe you shouldn't be in a position to pass judgement over anyone.<br /><br />It is a disgrace that the Federal Government should take action that is so unilaterally ignorant. That they should feel the need to defend such a position as to sya that you must lower your standards to meet the pool of applicants. Heaven forbid that the pool of applicants be imposed upon to actually be competent or capable.Originally posted by Kenneth Brown:<br /> So what do ya think about the issue I posted Dave?
Um, what? I can't recall EVER seeing a math problem that required background information to solve it(unless that is a formula previously learned in math).<br /><br />What are you talking about?Originally posted by CJY:<br /> It has nothing to do with counting or formulas. A straight up math problem done with pencil and paper is not the problem. It's when the math is placed into the context of a story that favors the white test taker. Whether you like it or not, there are people of other races that are American citizens, even though they have a completely different background or family history. When tests are given in the context of white American History only or white culture only, IT IS NOT EQUAL OPPORTUNITY! IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT ANYONE IS BEING GIVEN A FREE RIDE. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!
I don't know how to state it any more clearly. Haut makes my point with his post. When a test is written by whites, the culture, history and dialect is in "white."<br /><br />Different races speak with different dialects as haut so well pointed out. The dialect does not make them less intelligent regardless of what anybody thinks. It gives non-white races a disadvantage when taking a "white" test. If a test was written by a different race, Japanese-American, Chinese-American, African-American or whomever besides whites, who do you suppose it would favor.Um, what? I can't recall EVER seeing a math problem that required background
Bee's about tha same as Latrines getting. <br /><br /><br />Thanks HK, needed the humor after reading the worthless drivel posted by CJY. That sir is the most outlandish thing I have ever heard. Its a different culture so it should be worded differently. LOL May I reccomemend that you see my signature? You may know someone that it applies to.Originally posted by Haut Medoc:<br /> So if Towanda has ten childrens & Jerome has six childrens, how many childrens would that be?<br />More importantly, how much would the Gubmint check be, I ax you?....JK
If you believe that, you are a moron, and part of the problem. 2+2=4. No matter if it is 2 watermelons + 2 fried chickens, or 2 country club memberships + 2 57 foot boats.<br />And you still have NUMBERS to add up, it doesnt matter the "culture" you are from.<br />Lets have a different ****ing test for every last son of a ***** that comes to this country! <br />We need to have one for muslims, asians, mexicans, germans, french, canadians, swedes, aussies, indians (dot and feather) etc etc etc.Heaven forbid that someone actually learn american culture.Originally posted by CJY:<br /> It has nothing to do with counting or formulas.
