• “The bigoted comments of a few citizens, even those with power, should not invalidate action which in fact has a legitimate basis.”
• district court did not rule on Fair Housing Act claim either because plaintiffs did not pursue it or because they did not consider it different from their constitutional claim
• the FHA is a law “providing for . . . equal civil rights” based on race
