Issue: Whether any amendment to a law originally
adopted for an impermissible racially discriminatory
purpose, no matter how minor the amendment and no
matter the historical context, cleanses the law of its
racist origins for 14th Amendment purposes
unless the party challenging the law can prove that
the amendment itself was motivated by racial discrimination.
