I think that’s antiquated honestly. I don’t hear that justification given now, as it was decades ago. I hear more talk of “justice” and increasing diversity merely for its own sake rather than as a means to and end. Whereas the original intent was lowering the importance of race and sex in life outcomes, I don’t think anyone would espouse such a goal today. Being “color blind” has become a pejorative in the parlance of today. Wanting a color blind society, one where a persons sex is of little concern, is derided as the hallmark of racial and sexual privilege, something in need of reform. It’s hard to pinpoint where this change occur. Maybe it was doomed from the outset and racism to end racism doesn’t actually work.
