On another point, it says that a Hindi girl passed everything required by the state except for this test.

The girl is Haitian, and Hindi to my knowledge isn't an ethnicity, but a language. Nice work.

And, what exactly would make a question harder for a minority to answer than a white kid?

In the case of Ms. Charles, who, being from French-speaking Haiti, barely knew a word of English merely four years ago, it could very well be difficult. Don't know what the FCAT is like, but the SAT at least has some tough verbal sections for a person who just learned the language. But I won't speculate further unless I see the exam itself.
