First, the Court required especially strict scrutiny of legislation that employed a "suspect classification", meaning discrimination against a group on grounds that could be construed as racial.

Yet the racial categories laid down under apartheid are still widely used, the only difference being that people now choose their own classification rather than having it foisted on them.

种族隔离时期产生的种族分类至今仍大行其道，唯一的不同只在于人们不再被强制分类而是可以选择自己所属的阶层。
