Minorities have to work way harder? First: that’s not necessarily true. Just because you’re a minority doesn’t mean you’re not privileged.

My family never took for granted where I would end up. My grandfather came from Germany to escape Hitler and worked on a railroad 16 hours a day so his sons could one day get a proper education. His brothers were all killed in Germany. Tell me MY people haven’t experienced difficulty and I’ll show you monkeys flying out of an inappropriate place. But I don’t benefit at all. Because my people value education enough to actually put effort into their future.

It’s fairly clear that the original poster is privileged as well. That’s what annoys me so much.

Do you realize what it’s like to be poor? You’re privileged too. We’re speaking from the same perspective, you from your heart, I from my brain.

The only “white bias” in standardized testing in education and standardized testing is the bias of intelligence. Period. There, I said what everyone wants to.
