“I don’t get it. Just what kind of test could that be? Where are those details? Give me a break.”

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe they have questions about polo or slave ownership (such as how many slaves it takes to clear 5 acres of land in a week). Those would be questions that only Whites would be able to answer, and thus the test would be biased. But I doubt those were the questions that bothered him.

The test required applicants to read the questions.

Reading is discriminatory.

Agreed, Wonder why they never print the questions that have been judged to be racist?

“had a discriminatory effect on black applicants”

The money quote.

An unbiased test is irrelevant to these scam artists.

Outcome is everything.
