So far explanations for the so called differences have not been 
addressed.Statistical rectitude has nothing to do with the underlying
explanations as to differences in test scores.One issue that should be 
addressed is the idea that the within group-variance among black kids
is smaller than that of white kids.There is also the issue of  race versus 
class not necessarily income-wise but parental values.There is also the concern 
that crime in white neighbrhoods may not be of the ostentatious 
variety,pedophilic,drug transactions and even murder.
Re Hispanic kids observing violonce,since most of the victims were black,maybe 
the Hispanic kids do not care what happen to black folks anyway,so why should 
they be affected? Hispanics do not identify with blacks .I will have a separate 
post on race relations in the
Americas later.
Of course the question of testing validity remains in the forefront.
