> Could civil rights advocates use anti-DEI laws to sue on behalf of vulnerable minorities I am with you that morally you can either say that discrimination on the basis of protected characteristics is either always wrong or not always wrong. I also tend to believe that wealth is now a more salient determinant of social outcome than race, and using race as a proxy for class is a missed opportunity. On the narrow point you brought up, though, DEI discrimination isn’t commutative. It explicitly discriminates against the majority group. Of course, where the sausage gets made is what groups are selected against and how they are defined.

People make all kinds of arguments and we can chase our tails forever, which is why they are pointless without evidence. There are mountains of evidence of discrimination based on race. And now the current US administration and many in the GOP openly embrace many white nationalists and their claims, including replacement theory, etc. > DEI discrimination isn’t commutative. It explicitly discriminates against the majority group There is far more discrimination in favor of the majority group. The point of DEI was to address that, but there are other strategies. Do you want discrimination or not?
