As a current high school student and victim of many standard tests over the years, I must respectfully disagree with Harriet Brand of The Princeton Review.

How can a question “favor” one particular race without resorting to tired stereotypes?

The only situation like that I can imagine is if a history class focused on the accomplishments of a single race because the entire class belonged to that ethnicity while a standardized test focused on an entirely different race.

Perhaps the Caucasians should demand that math questions be thrown out from all standardized tests because, since Asian-Americans tend to score better on math, those tests are biased against whites.
