The fact is that requiring the SAT leads to worse educational outcomes for Black and Latinx students. You can close your eyes to it all you want and say "but I don't see how that happens, they don't ask you skin color on the test!". That doesn't change the reality on the ground. We need a better system than the SAT as the gatekeeper to higher education. And yes, maybe UC doesn't have the perfect replacement. But at least they're trying.
