Your kid's SAT score depends on your income and where you live

An interesting stat from the study (the source paper):

Kids with Asian parents made more money than any other population, except when their mothers were born in the US, then it was on par with whites.

Theory: America is brutal, lol

Fun read. Trigger warning for snowflake conservatives (I'm sure the URL does that already.)

Pretty lame excuse and I think Warren knew that hence she sincerely apologized in public for having inflated her heritage. FBI per standard procedure investigates all cross border wire frauds, but then one can read political motives into everything.

Back to the point, its perfectly apparent now that this adversity score received a broad based backlash from pretty much every conceivable side of the isle.

To Warren's credit, she took a DNA test. Not her fault granny made up a story.

As to the FBI? this looks like petty fraud, like a waste of money that the states should've resolved

there is no Philipino parade - .

What about Filipino parades?

Races perform differently even when you raise them all in the same great house and pool and with tutor.

WTF!?... What fucking rock did you crawl out from under dude?

I had to read that twice to make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me.
5 subsequent pages and this goes unchallenged?

So you're basically saying that brown people have lower IQ's than Caucasians.
I mean that's what you're saying. Period.

There is no way you went to Carnegie Mellon.

@destriero must be in the Bahamas... cause I don't see him letting that slide.

Predominately cultural. Possible minority impact that is heritable (Rushton-Jensen).

100% inherited (see asiamicroprop): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12937799

I don't know whether it is IQ but doubt it. Though there are races and cultures where scientifically a higher IQ was attested on average (keyword Ashkenazi Jews) but that was not my point. I think it is more cultural and what a specific race and culture values as preference and prioritizes. Why do you think many Filipinos who own little mom and pop stores close the shop often whenever they earned enough for the day even if that means the shop closes in the middle of the day and it's gonna be going to the beach for the rest of the day? Chinese would never ever do that even Chinese of no financial means. Why do Blacks dominate the NBA? Why are homeless among Jews almost not existent? Races and certain groups dominate others in specific areas, I think there is plenty of empirical evidence without even having to consult peer reviewed research that confirms such.

I did go to CMU, MSCF to be specific. I don't care whether you believe me or not. Destriero is on my ignore list hence I luckily do not need or can read what he has to say. Not that I care.

Very simple answer: because hiring managers don't have time to interview the entire world. They use filters such as college names or degree types to pre-filter. Given that they fill up their class of incoming graduates each year in year out shows that the filter still leaves enough candidates in to be interviewed. Drawback is that it filters out a few talents from lesser known schools or for example those without PhD who otherwise can perform the job equally well. HR departments often take the lazy/convenient route to preselect and that disadvantages those who could do the the job but don't have the right names on their CV. It saves them a lot of time. Just stating a fact not saying its good.

But this distracts from the main point though.

I've been in many positions in the workspaces over the years. And as a person in charge of hiring, I would not give a damn about the background of someone. I want to know...Can you do the job I am hiring you for, efficiently?

That's all it takes. WTF cares if you have a p.hD in STEM. Can you do this job, which you have applied for, in an adequate amount of time as I have prescribed, better than the previous person who applied before you, and the person who will apply after you? I simply do not give a flying fuck about your education, because that doesn't matter when you sit down at your desk to do the work. It is how you do the work, and the results that follow, that matter to me. I don't care HOW you got your skills. So long as you have them. Having a university degree does not mean in any way that you have those skills at the start.

Jesus. Why is this such a difficult concept? The world has gotten so stupidly illogical.

The rub: the guy who insists that you back up your sources is perfectly willing to make it up.

I miss the analogy here. Are you referring to the non linearity in payoff profile of options? At the heart of the issue of this new score is the desire to turn college admissions from equal opportunities that are based on merit to equal outcomes where suddenly shady operators suggest that a college's highest goal ought to be the adjustment for race and parental income equality in the make up of the class body.

The heart of the matter is compensation for factors surrounding an outcome that may not always appear to be fair to those involved. Since college admissions are already highly subjective, this is yet another set of parameters factored to admissions. I think your approach of explicitly excluding race and parental income as a factor may be ideal, but as we know, it's a tough and complicated issue.
