Racist? I do find it odd that the SAT describes a 16-year-old not getting a Land Rover "unjust", but racist? Spell it out for me.

The racism is in the fact that the answer to number 2 is not (A) Reputable and Identifiable.
They are implying that the upper-class cannot Identify with the minority candidate because they are all white.

These samples have got to be a joke, right?

I'll point out the racism for those who don't see it:
1. Most people wouldn't consider a father not buying his daughter a car unjust but frugal since cars are expensive(unless you're in the rich Caucasian demographic)
2. Calling a minority benign (I'm guessing)
12. IDK (Maybe cuz its an organic food store)
5. Should be obvious(i.e. pliates, farmer's market, and coffee shop are associated with white demographic as well)
6. Maybe the tuition aspect
13. unsure
I think that its not the fact that its "blatant" racism so much as it is hidden racism in the aspect that the questions seem like there directed at suburbanite Caucasians more so than the general audiences

"5. Should be obvious(i.e. pliates, farmer's market, and coffee shop are associated with white demographic as well) "
THAT is racist? Would it be more fair to ask "On the way to visit her sugar daddy in jail, Jaquisha has to stop at KFC, the unemployment office, and her crack dealer. In how many different orders can she complete these errands?"
I didn't realize that only white people drink coffee and consume produce... *rolls eyes*
