Where do I go for my reparation?
restore true equality under the law by requiring proof of actual discrimination, rather than enforcing race- or sex-based quotas or assumptions,”
Should never have been allowed in the first place.
“Desparate impact” is such a mindless, inane principle.
It’s more of a religious doctrine, that different outcomes can ONLY be due to race and discrimination.

From a liberal viewpoint, the worst thing about “disparate impact” is that it confirms things they’d rather deny.
I was a teenager in the summer of 1978 when the Supreme Court rendered its decision in the “Bakke” case, enshrining affirmative action into our laws. I haven’t reviewed the decision recently, but I do recall that at least one of the justices said that the necessity for affirmative action should disappear within a reasonable period of time, meaning that the decision wouldn’t last forever. Well, it has been nearly 50 years (close to 20% of the time that we have been a nation), and we have had a half black person of dubious origin elected twice to be President of the United States. I would say that official discrimination, which the Bakke decision was aimed at stopping, is no longer a thing. Time to get rid of not only Bakke, but all other similar decisions. The way to end race discrimination is, quite simply, to end race discrimination.
I’ve always believed this was unconstitutional. It literally allows a plaintiff to assume every element they have to prove. Undesirable outcome always = illegal act. By law.
Well..yippee..
I was in HR when it started...hated it, refused to understand and promote it...altho I had to write affirmative action plans for my boss that somehow reflected it. This just reinforces how I thought...and I knew I was right.
