Are standardized tests really racially-biased?

Asked by fluthernutter (6328points) March 25th, 2015 from iPhone

From my personal observations, it seems they are more biased from a socioeconomic standpoint. More about exposure and access to standardized testing. This doesn’t seem to be an issue for minorities from affluent backgrounds.

Is it just easier to say you can’t legally administer an IQ test to black children? Would defining legality along socioeconomic lines be too complicated?

It just seems like we are approaching this the wrong way?
