re: #278 lostlakehiker

Here we go again with the dramatic, and wrong, number games. Last time around, it was a claim that there must be something wrong with a test that 90% of whites, and 10% of blacks, pass. But where is such a test to be found? If one did pop up, it would be quite an anomaly, and quite rightly, people would be looking for the error in construction or scoring.

The New Haven firefighters test that Sonia Sotomayor threw out, the one that caused such a fuss during her confirmation hearings… had just such a result.
