>>None of them is there to avoid contact with blacks
>>Enough said

Imagine an alternative reality in which a distant foreigner nevertheless has experience of kids applying for elite schools and universities in the US. Imagine this person conducts some research as is their wont. Imagine that person agrees that College SAT definitely can disadvantage people whose vocab or culture is outside US mainstream, but online SHSAT practice tests seem more neutral so less likely to. Imagine that person communicated with parents of all colors and understands very well the motives *and sacrifices" that private schooling entails. With Ivy League merit scholarships now gone, you cannot believe the sacrifice some families shoulder if they're not a Hollywood Elite thinking it's OK for special people like them to bribe their way in. Imagine this person has first hand knowledge of elites maneuvering for proximity to a dark-skinned daughter of a prime. Imagine that this person never, not once, perceived that avoiding skin color has any connection to years of planning required of all but the Elites assured of a place whose reasons are even simpler- because mom or dad went there. Then imagine that such a person dares to express neutral observer dissent from your NYT narrative and you go for the shut down.

BTW: yes I did just use "wont" in archaic form for my amusement and maybe yours. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
