Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation:

Race norming simply refers to the practice whereby two different cut off test scores are set for employment which is based on race. Race-norming, is also referred to as the within-group score conversion and it has to do with the adjustment of test scores in order to account for the ethnicity of the test-taker.

Since a passing score for whites was set at 80 out of 100 while a passing score of 60 out of 100 was set for the minority applicants, then it's an example of race norming.
