Actually, the USSC has been very ambiguous on this issue, going back and forth over the years with Bakke, Webber, Grutter, Gratz, and Ricci. That CURRENTLY strict numerical quotas appear to be disallowed in no way stops the "affirmative action" machine. In Grutter v. Bollinger, eg, anti-white racial discrimination was approved insofar as it increased the "diversity" of the student body - all liberal admission committees have to do is not write down numerical targets, then they can discriminate all they want and say it was needed for "diversity". After Grutter, many corporations "saw the light" (or actually, the likely lawsuit threat") an came out in support of "diversity".
That's not quite correct. It started with Lyndon Johnson's Executive Order 11246, which required
Further's Richard Nixon's Philadelphia Plan required quotas in the construction industry, this was later upheld by the USSC.
It really started with Kennedy's EO, but irrespective of that, what part of those orders ("affirmative action") is unfair to you?
If your gripe is quotas, I agree.
See, a lot of this was originally done in the same way discrimination against blacks was done in the old south - winks and nods, "gentlemen's agreements", ambiguous language, but everyone got the message - hire minorities
or else. Kennedy's order only spoke technically about equal opportunity, but again, contractors "got the message".
And the absolute first one was actually Roosevelt's Executive Order 8802.
No, my gripe isn't just quotas, it's
any anti-white racial discrimination. As I pointed out to you, with the current technique, "diversity", quotas aren't necessary to effect anti-white racial discrimination.
