I'll look for the actual statistics... but these tests along with others are the whole basis of Equal Oportunity Employment and Affirmative Action. |
Affirmative Action is not about equality, it's about providing an unfair advantage to a specific population group. It perpetuates that unconcious racist bias that you even pointed out.
The more we treat a specific group as "special" the longer it will take for racism to dissipate.
