The motive - either good or bad - does not change the meaning of the word. it is lawful discrimination for example, to deny driver's licenses to the blind or gun ownership to the insane because there is a sufficient public purpose.

The court ruled that seeking a diverse student body in 2003 was a sufficient public purpose to allow race to be considered in admissions. It also said that one day, that might cease to be justified.

So like it said - that is what the court will decide.
