There has never been a final court ruling that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 applies to whites.

It’s past time to find out if it does, since it says so in plain English.

Yeah, but courts have a funny way of ruling that plain English doesn’t mean what everybody knows it means. Too many examples at hand. “Shall not be infringed” and “sex” come to mind.

In 2002 (Sirmans v. Brownlee), a US District Court found the US Army's promotion system, implemented during the Clinton administration, which favored women and minorities, to be unconstitutional on grounds that it violated the Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause and the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of equal protection. The case clarified that these rights were guaranteed at the federal and state level and the army did not appeal the decision. The Civil Rights Act was not cited in the opinion.
