Or, Mr. Stark, the tests are skewed to what affluent white snot nosed kids know. Mummy and Daddy drive them to soccer practice, then to private music lesson, then to SAT prep class, and then home so mummy and daddy can correct their mistakes on the kids homework.

Give these rich kids a test in real world skills: getting their junkie daddy to stop beating mom, feeding their brothers and sisters breakfast and dinner because mom is working two jobs, how not to get sucked into a gang, how to live on 800 calories a day, etc.

I bet you would see different results.

When you get a bunch of privileged kids graduating college and creating tests to check on the next generation, people like them are going to do well.
