race, gender, and the politics of data
If we agree the data illustrates significant differences between races, then we must agree the data illustrates significant differences between genders (and by gender within ethnic groups). Consistently the data illustrates problems with gender and ethnic educational achievement between and within ethnic groups. Claiming there is a race problem and not a gender problem requires one to accept the data for one group and discredit the data for another group - if this is done it is done because of personal biases.
