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.

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

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.

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

Poor Ruth is going to have to answer for a whole lot very shortly.....her support of killing God`s unborn children,preventing children from hearing the Word of God, and for also trying to ban the name of Jesus from the public square.
She has enough on her plate without me adding more!
God Bless Ruth!!! Ruth there is still time while you are still drawing breath.

Intelligence is racist. If you have a problem with that, take it up with the evolutionary and adaptive forces which have given us today's human race, its various sub-groups, and widely varying individuals.
Also, if you find gravity too oppressive, or the speed of light too fast, file a complaint with the Universal Constants Value Board.

The government will probably require all organizations that administer tests like this to lower their standards so the poor minorities, that don’t have time to really prepare, can pass. Kind of like the fire departments having to lower physical standards to allow women to be fire fighters. I’m not against women performing any job they can physically or mentally qualify for. But if I need my sorry ass removed from a burning building,I would much rather be carried out than dragged out by my feet with my head banging off every step in a srairwell.
