[QUOTE="RockHopper, post: 4216033, member: 49099"] I know little of that specific history, but based solely on your description...the purpose of such practices may be simply more practical in nature, than racist. I'm just following it through logically mind you. Playing devil's advocate if you will. If a student was known to have been educated in a public system which was standardized, than the average student should be assumed to have benefitted from that standard. If a student did NOT go through such standard education, than it is logical to assume that they likely would not meet the standards....and be required to test for literacy. If the logic is, that literacy is required in order for an Adult Human to learn and make decisions which effect the group, then of course required testing is the most effective way to go about it. How is that racist? Recognizing that people who come from outside the culture are disproportionately effected is the entire point. The advanced culture sets the standard, and if you want to join it, you have to meet the bar. Lowering the bar, or making it disappear helps nobody. [/QUOTE]
