It's the names coupled with the stereotypes. Put the information in context ... even the kids taking the test are doing that much, whether you acknowledge it or not.

I'm not saying I ain't smiling. I'm saying this shouldn't be put into a classroom, because names like Hector, Thelma, Salvador, Jose, and Rufus do evoke minority culture, and underline racism.
