Oh, I doubt it will ever get to a courtroom.
When you have behavior THIS blatant, the lawyers will settle out of court.
Yet, when the appraiser thought the house was owned by black people, he compared property values to those in another neighborhood where black people lived, and when he thought it was owned by white people, it compared it to properties in the neighborhood.
