A few other points, Robert, in addition to yours about the likely small effect of any bias (and in addition to Georgeโs post): (1) Itโs odd that these โcultural expressionsโ affect blacks but not Latinos or Asians; (2) so, if the SAT is biased, why does it overpredict rather than underpredict black performance in college?; and (3) as you say, by all means fix the test if itโs biased, but who doubts that the main use of this โstudyโ will be to justify substituting racial preferences for SAT scores?
