Abstract
Much has been said about the nature and scope of cultural bias in standardized testing. Here we use an unstandardized interactive approach to explore the nature and scope of cultural bias in individuals' knowledge base. More specifically, we use audience participation to demonstrate deficiencies between and within racial/ethnic groups' knowledge bases. Interaction will demonstrate the continued and increased need for multi-cultural curricula and pedagogy.
