That’s an entirely different conversation, and a strawman to boot. You clearly aren’t interested in actually discussing this. I can show you study after study proving that a bias exists against equally skilled applicants with an “ethnic sounding” name, but why bother, you’re not serious and I’m done engaging with you.

You should really ask yourself why you see raising up one group as necessarily lowering another. One doesn’t follow from the other.

Being able to admit that certain groups are systemically disadvantaged and wanting to do something about it is literally the opposite of racism, what are you talking about?

Here’s a crazy take, maybe water shouldn’t be privately owned.

“Fairness? That sounds like some DEI nonsense, I thought you didn’t like that stuff?”

I agree, but it appeals to their base. It’s blatantly unconstitutional but that makes no difference to the electorate who will eat it up.

The Dems refuse to play the game and then blame the voters when their boring status quo approach doesn’t get anyone fired up. It can’t be all on us little people to do their jobs for them.

You’re exactly right. Instead of going on the offense the Dems just think “well this won’t pass so why bother?”

Meanwhile the Republicans are out here writing bills to give Trump a third term. Do you think the fact that it won’t pass matters one iota to them?
