I'm not saying that the intent of the city was racial discrimination, but the effect of the decision had a disparate impact on whites.
I don't know that I go around fretting about reverse discrimination a lot, but most programs that involved the advancement of one group will frequently involved at least active disinterest in the success of other groups. It's hard to do this in a way that doesn't have an effect on one group or another.

lets say 25 people pass. 20 are white. 5 are nonwhite.

tests are kept for the 1st case. tests are thrown out for the second. the tests are thrown out not because of the first number, but because of the second number. if the tests were thrown out because of they were white, both cases would result in the same outcome.
IMO.
