If you assumed that some kids would inherently have trouble with classes regardless of race, and that passing kids was mandatory to maintain quota, then you would reasonably say "they ignore any trouble that a kid has and pass him, regardless of whether he's black, white, or Oriental."
If (for example!) you assumed that white kids inherently had trouble with classes, you would reasonably say "they ignore any trouble a white kid has and pass him, but actually pay some attention to black or Oriental kids". Because you'd believe that quota stuff, right? Whitey gets his pass FOR THE QUOTA AND NO OTHER REASON, while the (non-white) kids who could actually learn something get a for-reals education.
The fact that you are asserting "they ignore any trouble a black kid has and pass him, but actually pay some attention to white or Oriental kids" strongly indicates that you are assuming that black kids inherently have trouble with the classes that white and Oriental kids don't.
