Concepts of culture-fairness
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that when the two groups differ appreciably in mean test score, the above procedure, which is "fair" to individual members of the group scoring lower on the test, is "unfair" for the lower group as a whole in the sense that the proportion qualified on a test will be smaller, relative to the higher-scoring group, than the proportion that will reach any specified level of criterion performance.
