The city argues that the test it commissioned, in which 60 percent of the score came from a multiple-choice questionnaire and 40 percent from an interview, must have been biased...

May I translate?

The city believes blacks could not learn the subject matter as well as whites and latinos.

If I were black, I would sue the city for defamation.

The real translation of that comment "must have been biased" really says that the ones who couldn't pass their test are inferior in some manner and must be 'protected under the law.'

If I were one of the failing candidates I would be highly pissed right now. I also would commit myself to actually 'study' for the next test.
