the Tests are Racist

Obama's Supreme Court nominee Judge Sonia Sotomayor...well...she doesn't do so well in tests. In fact, her scores were quite a bit lower than her fellow classmates at Princeton and Yale.
Not her fault, though. The tests are bigoted. Rigged, undoubtedly by rich white men, to discriminate against Latino women.

Thankfully, affirmative action saved the day.

"With my academic achievement in high school I was accepted rather readily at Princeton and equally as fast at Yale, but my test scores were not comparable to that of my classmates. And that's been shown by statistics, there are reasons for that - there are cultural biases built into testing, and that was one of the motivations for the concept of affirmative action to try to balance out those effects."
