Wow- this is a classic one!!!! Did you even read the article? Here is a clip for you:
"“The Department of Justice has alleged that the testing component disproportionately disqualified minority applicants,” Deputy City Attorney Mark Stiles said. “They don’t allege that we engaged in that conduct with the intent of discrimination, but rather that the disparate impact was found to have occurred by our simply using the test.”
In a letter to the city in February, the Justice Department said Virginia Beach had “engaged in a pattern or practice of discrimination” against black and Hispanic applicants.
After an 18-month investigation, the Justice Department found that the police force did not reflect the diversity of the city’s population because of how the math test was graded.
The Justice Department claimed that the test’s pass-fail system had a disproportionate effect on minorities because the passing rates for blacks and Hispanics were less than 80 percent of the passing rate for whites.
From 2002 to mid-2005, about 85 percent of white applicants passed the math exam, compared with 59 percent of blacks and 66 percent of Hispanics."
SO....the test wasn't racist. It was a simple math exam, just raw numbers. Plus, minus, multiply, divide. JUST MATH. And they are arguing that while the test wasn't racist, simply the use of it was, because blacks and hispanics failed at a higher rate than the whites did????
Let me try to understand this. If a minority performs worse on average than whites on a math test used in an application exam, then the use of the test must be racist, and thus the department is racist for requiring a simple math exam of it's applicants.
Please, explain to this pig how that test was racist. It was a math test. A simple math test, which was labeled a "racist" test and the department was labeled racist simply because they used MATH TEST.
Wow. I'm going to sue the NFL because they use the 40 yard dash. The use of the 40 yard dash is racist because whites perform on average worse than blacks. Damn racist NFL!!!
You cannot be serious about that link. I truly hope you don't think that HELPED your cause, or the morons claiming a basic math test was racist. How are raw numbers being added, divided and multiplied being racist?
