Answer:

The answer is test bias.

Explanation:

Intelligence tests have been severly criticized over the past few years, the main argument is that they are racially biased, meaning that they favor students from the majority, which is why racial minorities consistently grade lower in such tests. It has been said that although the questions may appear neutral and objective, in fact, not all groups of children have had equal opportunities to learn the contents nor they have lived in the same social context, which is what Dr. Whittier argues. These arguments challenged the assumption that prevaled years ago, about ethnic differences and intelligence.
