Reminder that the SAT was literally created bc too many students of color were getting into college. The creator of it published that the increase of racial diversity in schools would cause the decline of American intelligence. By 1930, he admitted it was a eugenics test.

@c0kahina @KristeKline When the first Black military pilots group was set up, some thoughtful bigots tried to sabotage it by requiring applicants to have college degrees (not required for white pilots) and score notably higher on tests than white applicants. It backfired by creating an elite unit.

@c0kahina Harvard changed their whole admissions criteria to include 'character' once Jewish kids started earning places in record numbers.
@c0kahina @sam_ledon So they created an IQ test to keep people of color out of college? LMAO
@c0kahina @AlsoWonderWoman Later on, however, many of those upper-crust schools started making SAT scores optional for applicants—too many legacies weren’t doing well on them. (I know this because I went to one.)
