The disparate impact rule is challenging to begin with because literally every policy has a disparate impact, because there is and always will be an uneven distribution of people of whatever cultural or ethnic subgroup they can be divided into in whatever social roles that exist. It should rightly be rid of. There are many other better ways to address discrimination.

“Disparate impact” prohibited by the rule isn't just unequal impact, its unequal impact without sufficient justification (what qualifies for that differs between the employment and housing contexts where the rule is applied.)
