Bias assumes equal ability. The vast majority of differentiation on tests scores can be correlated to difference in ability.

And this doesnt even take into consideration the fact that there are significant disparities in K-12 education....a far higher student/teacher ratio in inner cities school and a far lower student/computer ratio in those schools than in predominately white suburban schools...an issue that has been addressed in other threads.

I wonder why school systems have a problem getting teachers to teach in poor, urban schools populated by mostly black students. Hint, it has nothing to do with racism.
