Unfortunately the actual decision does the opposite; while forbidding using race directly as a factor for admissions, it explicitly allows considering race when weighing other factors like poverty. So basically as long as admissions are saying "being black/hispanic means you might have had a rougher childhood than the white/asian applicant from the same neighborhood" and not "we're not looking for white/asian applicants at this time" it's legal.
