And there goes the semantics of reverse discrimination. They weren't turned down because they were white. Organizations, in general, haven't gotten to the point where they discriminate against whites in the manner that nonwhites have been discriminated against for generations. The test results were thrown out because of the poor performance of the nonwhites, which they feared would lead to a questioning of the test and perhaps of organizational practices.
I'm sorry if that's how my statement came across, but that's not precisely what I meant (although I could see how you'd take it that way). I know they weren't discriminated against because they were white, but essentially because non of them were minorities.
