Pulling up a thread from lower down - this didn't seem to get struck because it's a math test. It seem to have gotten struck down because it's actually an english test.
(1) the only difference is for non-white people who took the test in french.
| % Successful (EN) | % Successful (FR)
White | 86% | 84%
Non-White | 82% | 55%
(2) white french speakers (e.g., Quebecois) in Canada are much more likely to also speak english than non-white french speakers (e.g., immigrants from former colonies).
(3) english-to-french translations in Canada often suck, requiring french readers to back-translate to english to understand wtf something is saying.
Admittedly, 2 and 3 are anecdotal, but suffice to say it's more complicated than at first blush.
