Just because some groups of students do not do well on a test does not mean that the test itself is discriminatory.
Eliminating the SAT and|or making it easier is a troubling reflection of the academic decline in American high schools. In fact, American students are not faring well in measures of academic competence on international tests such as the PISA test.
Why isn’t the focus on bringing up the scores of struggling students rather than getting rid of the measure?

The whole US education needs to be changed so people can learn stuff that actually matters

Some schools don't require SAT scores so what does a student need to help get scholarships?

1:32 It's a confidence booster if you get a really good score. But if you don't do so great then obviously the test is bad.

They need to get rid of the gmat/gre to, totally useless

Does that reduce the value of a high SAT score, if you took it before they allowed calculators and made these changes? Sort of like how when our government prints money, it reduces the value of your savings.
