...the basic, fundamental, or intrinsic nature of the SC college 'diversity' opinion is the protection of white people.

The fact that others are at risk and under similar assault well noted in her full statement.

Joy first noted that only two classes are protected by the court, conservative christians and billionaires. She opened talking about the court:

"...taking the country back to the early 20th century to take away wiomen's rights over their own bodies, and the rights of LGBTQ people and people of color to just live equally."

The quote in the op came later... full remark:

...what the Supreme Court has essentially said, is the only group that can not be discriminated against, or percieved to be discriminated against are white people, but you can discriminate against gay people as long as you say you're an artist and you're sensitive about your art... so what they're saying is the only protected class are white people who want to get into Harvard, and rich people, but you can discriminate against everyone else: Native Americans who want water, people facing the death penalty, everybody else...
