I also find it implausible that the test was biased. You mentioned the two Hispanics who passed the test. Also, if a man like Ricci who had dyslexia could pass, it seems fair to expect a black firefighter to pass. I want to look at the legal reasoning behind the decision today to see if New Haven's decision was legally justifiable. But I do find the episode unfair. Here are links to some posts I wrote about Ricci on my blog:http://thegadsonreview.blogspot.com/2009/06/i-feel-sorry-for-ricci.htmlhttp://thegadsonreview.blogspot.com/2009/06/preliminary-thoughts-on-ricci-ruling.html I agree that denying Ricci his promotion was unfair.
