If racism is wrong (which I believe it is), then it is always wrong, no matter which groups are benefited or harmed.


What does "statistically should" mean? How skin pigment have anything to do with qualifications? Using skin pigment as a lens for "statistically should be employed", what are your thoughts on requiring the NBA to be more diverse?


Translated; "Racism is bad, so we're going to use racism now to counter balance previous racism." This won't end well for anyone.


That is obviously not a valid translation. It appears you did not understand what I wrote. When dealing with a complex problem, in this case several hundred years of discriminatory practices and laws, it’s not possible to come up with a remedy that is satisfactory to all. An all or nothing mindset leads nowhere. We must go with imperfect solutions since perfection does not exist. We can try to minimize negative side effects but not erase them. On the whole the ongoing level of discrimination against blacks is at least an order of magnitude greater than the amount of reverse discrimination.


Are you also vocal when Native American tribes are given things? Quite a bit of money goes to them directly -- that is racism to you, right?


Right; the companies that are pro DEI are like the man at the bar with a swastika arm badge. Sure it's morally repugnant, but at least you know ahead of time what you're dealing with.
