My Story

<p>Mainer: I didn’t articulate my thoughts very well! My goal was to raise awareness about the potential for racist assumptions when talking about test scores – in response to your statement “For example, look at the clearly superior math SAT results by Asians and Asian-Americans!” Just as that statement, taken out of context, could be inflammatory, so was my statement implying that any book that correlates test scores to race is racist. These are touchy subjects probably best left off a site like this. I think Malcolm Gladwell is doing great things and would hate to see his work marginalized out of a misunderstanding.</p>
