Well, as far as I understand it, all that the decision did today was say that it wasn't acceptable to, out of fear of a disparate outcome lawsuit, take an action that had a disparate outcome on a different racial group.

It's pretty unique to a goofy set of conditions.

How many employers are going to advance one seemingly racially and ethnically objective system of advancement based on one test and then feel free to throw out the results of that system when it doesn't yield the racial or ethnic results that they were really looking for?

I suspect that the city in the original case would do the whole thing differently today.
