is lsat racist? Forum

I'm quite offended that you think black people or mexican americans or any other minority can't speak english well enough to do well on the lsat. If anything the lsat is biased against those who come from low socio-economic levels and are probably not given the best educations. Yes this is typically minority students but no race is not the prereq.

So the negro community is frowning on his shenanigans?

So you are from the south...

speaking of which, I've been wondering whether there are published stats on how different groups score on the lsat. do men or women score better? do certain races score better when adjusted for education?

[Nulli Secundus]

i had a thought.
it would seem to me to be practically impossible (especially after the whole fields mess-up) that for someone to whom english is not their first language to do well on the lsat. the logical reasoning especially. ergo, the practice of law has essentially whittled out most minorities!

A reasoning error in the argument is that the argument;

A) ATTRIBUTES A CHARACTERISTIC OF AN INDIVIDUAL MEMBER OF A GROUP TO THE GROUP AS A WHOLE.
B) presupposes which is to be proved.
C) refutes a generalization by means of an exceptional case.
D) assumes a causal relationship where only a correlation has been indicated.
E) takes lack of evidence for the existence of a state of affairs as evidence that there can be no such state of affairs.

Correct Answer: A (i.e. Speak for yourself, I am also international, but I do quite fine at LSAT)

Actually, now that I think about it all the answers, with the possible exception of C, fits it, but A fits best. Wow, this is actually quite a good LR question

So this is what an attempt at humor from a Boston College reject looks like..

I got rejected from way better schools than that.

It's kind of a giveaway when you say things like "negro community."

Exactly!

And no I don't have any statistics about LSAT in particular but I do remember a professor talking about some research indicating that conclusion regarding standardized testing in general. But mostly I'm basing it on personal experiences.

TLS is putting me on edge... in the last two days I have read threads saying you can spontaneously network your way into a job by just having a good personality, minorities shouldnt write diversity statements because their applications make it clear they are minorities, Akron Law is competitive with Case and a post where someone said their gpa from John Carroll Univ. would get a special treatment because JCU is ranked 7th in the midwest...

TLS has been a disaster of epic proportions lately to say the least..

Probably because you have no sense of humor.
