But is it your fault, b_b? Do you feel guilty about it?

Standardized testing has always been about punishing minorities. The SAT was invented to keep Jews out of Harvard, which was just an implementation of how the Han Chinese kept their minorities down for two thousand years.

We didn't create this mess, we inherited it. But that doesn't mean you can't feel guilty about it and decide that no, the problem isn't the hyperwealthy, it's those nasty people who make fun of lolbrooks on Twitter.
