Look in the Mirror Before You Say This Sh!t

Seriously, dumb@ss, take a close, hard look at yourself and think about what it is you're saying!

Joel Engel reports on how it’s impossible to guess where The New York Times now finds racism over at Legal Insurrection. His thoughts: Wow.  Just…wow:
For decades, hundreds of college players have gathered each year at the N.F.L.’s scouting combine, where their strength is tested, their speed is timed and, in a test to measure their intelligence, they are asked questions like “When a rope is selling 20 cents per 2 feet, how many feet can you buy for 30 dollars?”

That query is part of the Wonderlic Personnel Test, a 12-minute, 50-item quiz that has been used by N.F.L. teams since the 1970s. It is, however, infamously unreliable in predicting football success — forgettable players have scored high, stars low — and there have been quiet concerns that its reliance on knowledge taught in school might result in a racial bias.
Apparently, his emphasis added.

He goes on to state that he feels utterly speechless by this. I don't. The author of the original article is essentially saying that minorities can't possibly make it in an academic setting. By this reasoning, they are all obviously inferior.

Who's the real f#cking racist?
Wow.  Just…wow:
