Right. Instituting DEI mandates and quotas or facing legal persecution [1,2,3,4] was just "equality", but rolling that back, and banning explicit racial favoritism, is a "crackdown".

[1] Sheetz Inc., which operates more than 700 stores in six states, discriminated against Black, Native American and multiracial job seekers by automatically weeding out applicants whom the company deemed to have failed a criminal background check, according to U.S. officials. - https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/sheetz-convenience-store...

[2] Biden Admin Threatens Banks That Refuse To Lend Money To Illegal Immigrants - https://dailycaller.com/2023/10/12/biden-admin-threatens-ban...

[3] [UK case] Wanting to hire “fewer white men” for a job is not discrimination, a tribunal has ruled - https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/12/19/wanting-to-hire-...

[4] After the controversy broke out over Damore’s memo, Google’s Vice President of Diversity, Integrity, and Governance Danielle Brown wrote a response saying that “discourse needs to work alongside the principles of equal employment found in our Code of Conduct, policies, and anti-discrimination laws.” [i.e. "anti-discrimination" laws have been reinterpreted into censorship] - https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/weekly-standard/pc-corpor...

I fully support Biden administration’s stance on [2], you have to take positive discrimination case-by-case (because sometimes it’s bad). What I will tell you is that the answer isn’t whatever this is, and this is certainly a “crackdown.”
