interesting that this topic is well known enough out in the world to make the Onion…

Back when the SAT verbal (as it was called then) section was mostly a vocabulary test, there were common accusations that the many of the words reflected a higher SES bias (e.g. words from sports were claimed to be more likely to be from sports associated with higher SES, or “preppy sports”). So that type of accusation is not exactly new.
