Almost as if it was actually administered for a purpose other than fairly testing literacy.

There's no doubt it was administered unfairly. Louisiana in the '50s had no shortage of illiterate whites who were presumably allowed to vote anyway. But that doesn't preclude the fact that a test could theoretically be administered fairly. And I would include some basic cultural literacy questions such as who's third in line of succession for the presidency, or name two Supreme Court justices.
