If you're willing to call the civil rights movement silly, sure. But in any case, the university and courts and media should phrase it honestly and directly. "This court finds the university's racial discrimination is legal" and not "the university did not do the wrong kind of racial discrimination". Maybe the brochures for new students should inform them that, in addition to having "high academic standards" they also "prefer student applicants of race X, Y, and Z". It is after all silly to hold racial discrimination off-limits, so the university should have no problems being open about it, right?
