I understand the point you're trying to make, I think, but the deal is that promotions were supposed to be based on achieving certain scores, not on the racial composition of the people achieving those scores.
It was after the fact that the city basically said, those of you who passed aren't non-white enough so we're canceling the promotions. It's not a theoretically pool, it was a group of specific people who faced this action because they were almost exclusively white.
In theory, as far as my opinion is concerned, if the city wanted to say we're only promoting based on results that yield at least this percentage of non-white qualifiers, maybe that'd be the way to go, since all applicants would have a vested interest in their own success and the success of whatever racial and ethnic groups the city wanted to advance.
