One specific question about your reference [5].
The article's headline says "Confirmed: Guideline that government will only help ‘51%-black-owned companies’ is fake", although on its face this seems to contract the point I understood you to be making. Maybe I've misunderstood something?
- nevi-me 6y agoYou're right, I apologise as I missed that. The back-story here is that there was a draft policy that got leaked, and there was outrage about it. Given that it wasn't published yet, gov was able to retract it, and say that the draft was fake. Whether it was genuine or not, remains speculative I suppose. The eventually settled-upon directives were better than the initial ones, and the article at [0] seems balanced enough (Points 3-7 are most relevant).
