Re: the history and mathematics of prejudice
Apparently there are quite a lot of differences between US and UK versions of nursery rhymes as well as other common cultural references such as the names of children's games.

I'd imagine other English speaking cultures have other similar differences.

Re: the history and mathematics of prejudice
If you are testing cultural knowledge then that will self evidently disadvantage those from other cultures in terms of test scores.
Believing the alternative leads us to absurdity.
Abe - I don't have a problem with testing cultural knowledge as long as it's realised that it is cultural knowledge that is being tested.
