This long form article is worth the read. Hard to find a single emblematic quote but Here:
“Each SAT question chosen must parallel the outcomes of the test overall,” “So, if high-scoring test-takers — who are more likely to be White, male, &wealthy) — tend to answer the question correctly in pre-testing, it’s a worthy SAT question. Thus racially disparate scores drive question selection .”
