I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'what may somehow result from racism petition division?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'from racism petition division?' is the wordplay.
'from' is an anagram indicator (the anagram comes from the same letters).
'racism'+'petition'+'division'='racismpetitiondivision'
'racismpetitiondivision' with letters rearranged gives 'POSITIVE DISCRIMINATION'.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Times.
