The Supreme Court ruled
that white firefighters in New Haven, Conn
were unfairly denied promotions because of their race
New Haven was wrong to scrap a promotion exam
because no African-Americans and only two Hispanic firefighters
were likely to be made lieutenants or captains based on the results
The ruling could alter employment practices nationwide
and make it harder to prove discrimination
when there is no evidence it was intentional
