For example, the values for Australia are for Indigenous Australians, not the immigrants of European ancestry that now make up the majority of the Australian population.
Not that I'm vouching for the accuracy of it or anything.
A) That's pointless
B) That's racist
C) i highly doubt that is true
Statistics are not racist if they are true. On the other hand, if the test is culturally biased, (which many people claim it is) all that those statistics would prove is that certain people of one culture don't perform as well on that particular test as members of other cultures do.
I never said they were, but was rather referring to this specific case...
In this case, using a culturally biased test (and i'd be interested to see where that data was obtained) on a race that makes up an extremely small proportion of a country's population seems utterly farking pointless to me

Bit like only taking the results for Native Americans for the US, and so on & so forth for every other country...
