Essentially, the OP is using just that.

Blacks getting higher auto rates in a state than whites, racism due to disparate impact....oh...we didn't bother to adjust for geographic concentrations of blacks in urban areas with higher accident and theft rates....
Essentially, while racism still exists the use of disparate impact instead of valid statistical analysis is an ugly thing.
So, now you will see people use that same ugly, stupid tool to attack the political bastions of groups like public schools, unions etc. in truly ironic fashion.

Disparate impact will probably be invalidated by SCOTUS soon. The feds settled two housing cases that were due to be reviewed by SCOTUS. They feared the conservative court would scuttle disparate impact and for people like Obama/Holder that's a scary proposition.
