Is Corporate America biased against white people?

Last week, 13 Republican Attorneys General wrote an open letter to the CEOs of the 100 biggest U.S. corporations. The letter, organized by Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach (R) and Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti (R), alleges that "racial discrimination in employment and contracting is all too common among Fortune 100 corporations and other large businesses." The Republican Attorneys General argue that these companies are biased against white people, "an inversion of the odious discriminatory practices of the distant past." They accuse corporations of "drawing crude lines based on skin color" in an effort to "provide opportunities to underprivileged Americans." Corporate America's treatment of white people, according to the Republican Attorneys General, is "immoral and illegal."

I am not surprised it was Kobach pushing this. Gods, I tried so hard to keep him from getting back into government. People are so dumb around here sometimes! They can't recognize evil when it's pushing itself straight into your face. (sigh)
