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 judge whether this defines the answer.

'from racism petition division?' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates anagramming the letters (from the letters).
'racism'+'petition'+'division'='racismpetitiondivision'
'racismpetitiondivision' is an anagram of 'POSITIVE DISCRIMINATION'.

Can you help me to learn more?
