A lesson other cities should have learned by now is to not escalate a riot so that vandals can blend into the crowd.
How did you come to that conclusion?!
What is obvious from that riot and the recent riots, is that a violent mob must be dealt with, or the damage to property and life will be massive.
... which doesn't work well because Physics.
lol so funny, so true...
If correlation does not prove causation, what statistical test do you use to assess causality? That’s a trick question because no statistical analysis can make that determination.
I highly recommend you read that page.

under the section "How can causation be established?"
Causality is the area of statistics that is commonly misunderstood and misused by people in the mistaken belief that because the data shows a correlation that there is necessarily an underlying causal relationship.
The use of a controlled study is the most effective way of establishing causality between variables. In a controlled study, the sample or population is split in two, with both groups being comparable in almost every way. The two groups then receive different treatments, and the outcomes of each group are assessed.
and here is a paper called "Statistical Causality" from a professor in London. (third search result)

Its fairly technical, you may like it, (though you may not like being wrong) but here is the end of its conclusions:
It is much more difficult to infer causation from non-experimental data and it always requires prior background knowledge, e.g. on what could be potential confounders, and it often needs careful and patient observations over time.
You have completely failed to show how a math question on one of these tests discriminates against any ethnicity or social group.
(but i'm a dummy, lol)
I will end on a lighter note

i believe the hover text sums up your argument in a positive way.
This is the dumbest thing you've said in the whole thread. Math teachers should teach mathematics. Then, just maybe, someone like you would have learned how statistics work.
No need to get rude.
You are actually claiming that teachers who are preparing their students to take a math SAT, don't need to teach them the notation used on the test!
Excuse me sir, but i believe that is silly and wrong.
The topic being discussed is not statistics. It is whether or not a math question on one of these tests can be biased against certain backgrounds or ethnicities.
I have pointed out the obvious folly of removing questions from a test without reading them and understanding all the various reasons why the question might be an issue.
(You have no response)
I have also repeatability asked for an actual example. You are unable to produce a single actual question, and your created example was easily debunked.
But, hey, if you can't win the debate, just insult me.
