I fucking hate censorship. This reporting is largely unreadable, since much of it was deemed "offensive." I also like how they cut off the labels from the bar graph...although it was exactly what I expected.
Asians > Whites > Hispanics...[Blacks not pictured because too low.] Owch.
Interesting that the GPA spread is a lot flatter. My cynical take is that there's just more pressure at the classroom level to make the underperformers look good, but maybe the criteria for the classroom are just significantly less indicative of IQ.

Could be. SAT and ACT are tests, GPA is a long-term average. So if teachers are routinely going easy on some students, GPA will round out more, as you say.
Also, if problem students are in particular schools, the teachers grading them might be less than ideal too.
We already know SAT is an accurate barometer of intelligence and that it does "discriminate" based on race because plenty of previously prestigious universities stopped requiring SAT results in admissions. SAT was so on target that using it as a factor for admission made it nigh impossible to admit any blacks.
It's only with the benefit of hindsight that I realize a large part of why my college years were such a positive time in my life is because it is the only time I've ever been in an overwhelmingly White environment. Sure we had the odd non-White, but the overwhelming majority of staff and students on campus were White people. I want to recapture that and the organic sense of community that was able to flourish there.
Ah well, back to marching through the hellscape with nothing on the horizon but endless war.
