Given that 4 justices find that racism against whites is OK (they themselves being white), I do not doubt this one bit.

How can firefighter questions be racist? Unless by that they mean the test is only offered in English.

The socialists have successfully dumbed-down publik skoolz tests and college entrance and achievment exams, to accommodate the lack-luster/non-achieving minority students, and they will force a dumbing down of job applications so these minorities can qualify for jobs they can’t perform adequately (all in the name of “diversity” and “affirmative action”)

It was racist because both whites and minorities have to take it. Tests that show ability should only be administered to whites. Minorities should receive a default 95%. 100% if they show up, write their names on a blank piece of paper and hand it in.
This is the only way to solve the iniquity problems in the work force where whites outnumber minorities.

What defines a racist exam, when it involves the science of fire fighting? It should not be an easy exam to pass, too much is at stake.
Ginsberg is showing her ignorance of what is involved in firefighting. She probably thinks you just squirt water all over the place. In fact, it is a complex skill requiring a lot of expert knowledge.

I’ll support Affirmative Action when it is applied to the NBA, NFL, NHL and MLB.

The Hispanics did just fine and were discriminated against just like the whites.
Remember the mathematics of political correctness:
Gay > Black > Hispanic > Female > *White & Asian)

Leaving out terms like “hose shizzle” on the test made it racist

Who the hell cares what color a firefighter is when the whole room is billowing with smoke and death is imminent?
Our brilliant politicians do...

Reminds me of the 1970s “controversy” when a state teachers exam was first proposed here in South Carolina. The opponents claimed it was racist as minorities weren't exposed to art and music. The proponents countered with the fact that in order to get an education degree, a person was required to have so many ( I forgot what the actual numbers were ) hours of art and music. Ended the discussion. In those days morons shut up when they lost, not like today where they're proud to let everyone know they are.

Why not have the name already preprinted? And you would require an applicant to actually show up??? According to Ginsburg, that would be per se racist if the whites showed up and the minorities did not.

Ping of interest.
I guess nothing’s fair unless any minority is given extra bonus points to catch up on testing. It used to happen here during testing for the Chemical plant jobs - which were highly sought.
Soon, Whites will be the minorities in Texas, wonder how that will work out..../S

Gays can discriminate against Blacks/Hispanics/Femles/White&Asians
Blacks can discriminate against Hispanics/females/white&asians
etc..
White can only discrimnate against themselves. If they discriminate against anyone above their social structure, then they must be charged with hate crime and locked up

I just expect them to know what they are doing! There are no longer any valid excuses for illiteracy in this country, if you finish high school stupid you were either born that way, or you spent 12 years acting like a horses ass.
