As someone on the outside of this fight (I am not American), there was only one side fighting to maintain racism and sexism in hiring, promotion, government assistance, and university entrance: the Democrats. The Republicans were and remain clearly resolute in creating a merit based society. It seems clear that the democrats were and continue to seek to expand racism and sexism under the banner of "DEI." Adherents like Ibram X Kendi aren't hiding the ball. They openly acknowledge that the use of racism is necessary to achieve equal outcomes.
