The black kid who lived in the bad neighbourhood can't make it into Stuy because they already fell behind by going to their local elementary school. So now what, you want to test 4 year olds to see what school they deserve to be in?

Yes. That is how it happens in urban India. Even for nursery admissions schools interview both the kid and parents to see if they have potential.

You are right, he should. But he is statistically very much likely not to based on his upbringing and systemic discrimination.

Okay then he should do something else.
There is nothing wrong in segregating kids based on their ability. Public universities use tests to take the best kids and this should happen at all levels. A black kid who is smart should not be held back just because he lives in bad neighborhood. He should get into a better school if he can score more.
