This, as I understand it, is basically what they were doing. The city said, "crap, this test doesn't seem to be treating everyone the same, so lets pull it and reevaluate, see what went wrong". The guys that passed the test said, "hey, no fair! We just passed that test. You can't pull it and put in a new one and make us take it again".
I can totally see the side of the guys that passed. I don't think they are racists. But I also don't think that the city was wrong either from what I can tell.
