Nice deflection. Is that because you can’t defend your position?

They would need to prove this as legally this would be a major scandal if true. Again and again, the laws already existing would make such a thing illegal, highly illegal. You cannot discriminate based race, sex, etc., both enshrined as an Amendment to the US constitution and in the US Civil Rights Act.
So I suspect they're going to say that because these groups are X percent of the population but not X percent of small business owners, it proves they've been discriminated against much like they do with other quota systems.

Sorry K...of late? You seem to have gone to the Dark Side...(somewhat disappoint edly)
I would wonder why such a thoughtful person would be pushed to a side.
My observation is that you, yourself, have been moving in the opposite direction.

Truthfully?
I am a mother with son. Despite his mixed racial heritage, he looks firmly white male. He has a lot to lose with this CRT crap being pushed on all of us.
I worry for him. A lot.

Yeah, and now read the actual text. It clearly says the priority is getting the groups mentioned EQUAL access to the resources they need.
That means the same as other groups of people, not instead of.
Your eagerness to distort a very clear sentence says an awful lot about you.

They already have equal footing. What they don't have is equal desire and work effort.
They also have MORE THAN EQUAL laws (and government support).

The point, as I see it, is we shouldn't even be arguing about who should be first in the line for the cheese, we should be arguing that the cheese is wrong.
