Sorry but it feels like you're making up stuff to be racist about

Racist to point out the lower standards for blacks? Here's literally the alternative/inclusive testing pilot for new Massachusetts public school teachers.

Cambridge, MA just literally got rid of Algebra in middle school so the black kids wouldn't feel bad about themselves. Diversity is a strength.

His other comments are the same. I see more and more of these racists coming into HN. They’re not being kicked out so maybe HN will eventually become “nazi bar.” It used to be nice here.

94% of asians, 73% of whites, and 37% of blacks pass the "063 Mathematics" subject matter test. That's an absolute # of 24 blacks passing, yet every year the state's new black math teachers count is 100+.
