- RodericDay 11y agoIt's not surprising. The whole point of the discussion about "media representation" of minorities is about role models, and about how it's easier to put effort towards a goal if you see yourself there.

Maybe not to you, but it's definitely surprising to many. I don't understand the relevance of your second sentence. Do you believe that minorities see themselves as doing well at SATs and hence taking prep courses disproportionately?
