Abstract:     
Describes the Rehnquist Court's corruption of equal protection doctrine through the medium of the intent test, and compares the strict scrutiny which the Court applies to discrimination against whites with the minimal scrutiny, camouflaged as a finding of lack of intent, which the Court applies to discrimination against blacks.
