It is definitely going to impact how companies and courts view disparate
impact.  Once a selection regimen is decided upon that is valid and on its face
racial/sexual neutral, the results have to be taken as they occur.  We can't
change the criteria for selection if it happens not enough of some protected
class are eligible after application of those criteria.

Clear as mud?  I think that is what the court is saying.
