    The SAT is designed to test math and verbal reasoning. The real issue is not that whites read white authors, it’s that they read. Any published author, whether black, white, Hispanic, etc., will write in proper English. The SAT test is one of comprehension, not authorship.

    According to the Statistical Abstract of the United States (1998), more blacks are victims of crimes, while more whites are offenders. More whites were charged with serious crimes than blacks (62.2 percent vs. 35.1 percent). My thinking here is that blacks are portrayed more in the media than whites. And, being minorities, they are watched more closely.
