To be fair, this *does* keep going back and forth. One not rarely reads 
articles where some court or other said it was discriminatory to not promote 
the white folks who passed the test just because none of the minorities who 
took the test passed, or that it's illegal to not admit americans to schools 
who did better than the asians, or something like that. Every couple years 
there's a ballot in California to switch between "equal opportunity" and "no 
discrimination" in the state universities, for example.
