Isn there an Ebonics IQ test on which blacks outscore whites?

A. You can make up a test asking, say, “Do you eat, drink, or shoot a ’40’?” on which inner city blacks might outscore Korean-Americans. [VDARE.com note: Such knowledge quickly becomes datedJane Elliott is still using the “Chitling Test” from 1971 to humiliate whites, but many blacks couldn’t pass it today either.] But it won’t have real world predictive validity. The Air Force recruits who know that you drink a 40 won’t do a better job of fixing jet engines than the ones who don’t. So, it’s useless in the real world. Creating an IQ test on which there’s no black-white gap has been the Holy Grail of test designers for 40 years. Any test company that could pull it off would make a fortune, because every school district in the country would dump their current test and switch to the “non-racist” test. It’s been attempted repeatedly, but it can’t be done without destroying the test’s predictive powers.
