Odd Dow Jones question
I don't know if anyone else took the Dow Jones exam, but I thought one of the news questions it asked was really odd and inappropriate. It asked you to fill in the blank with the racial slur that Don Imus used against the Rutgers women's basketball team. Is that weird to anyone else but me? I understand it was a huge news story, but I think it's in bad taste for the question to be set up in a way that forces someone to write in "nappy-headed hos." People taking the test shouldn't be forced to write a racial slur. There could have been a blank for "Rutgers" or something instead. I was really shocked by it and think Dow Jones made a big mistake in its setup of that question.
