Entrance exam discriminates against black and latino students

Quote from CaptainObvious:
My high school discriminated against me. When I was a kid I played basketball really well on our homemade court. I was better than all the kids on the block. I was able to make our high scool team, but didn't play much. The black guys on the team could run faster and jump higher. The school should have done something to accommodate for slow white guys. Had they made it easier for me I probably would have received a scholarship. College would have had to make accommodations as well, but I deserved a break cause I'm a really nice guy. Then I could have went on to the NBA, where of course, further accommodations would have been required. Would have changed my whole life. They cost me millions. Who do I sue?
Amazing isn't it? Good post!
The city I moved from has around 225 cops. They USED to do the affirmative action crap during the slick willy administration, or they wouldn't get federal grants. One of the Captains I knew said "you won't believe this. We had to make a dumbed down test for the blacks. Even worse, we had to hire eight of them who can barely read or write. We had to send them to a local learning center just so they could fill out a police report."
Blew my mind!:eek: one of the guys they had to hire can barely speak on the radio where anyone understands him. This was around 15 years ago. That department dropped the affirmative action testing, and now has to battle those wanting to ride around in a police car all day, ignoring radio calls. Gotta love the give me something for nothing society. It's reared it's ugly head in law enforcement, and that's scary!

I was watching the tv program "Cajun Justice". The patrolman was a black guy, came down from Mississpii. In the interview he said he couldn't understand the black Cajun People and the way they speak. I thought the whole situation was funny as hell.

Of course the test is discriminatory, that's the whole purpose of a test in the first place.
The fact that functional retards can't pass the test is their complaint, boo fvcking hoo.
PT, you know my point is that the test isn't inherently discriminatory. The results are used to discriminate.

I used to hear the guy get on the radio and say stuff like "I be 10-8." then the rest was so mangled English, we used to laugh, but at the same time, realized it was sad he HAD to be hired.
