Exactly but then ultimately they would have to eliminate discrimination laws altogether which i doubt the masses would agree to but it might be too late by the time they realize its not just an attack on black people. Its divide and conquer but we will have so much hate for each other that we will just sit back as other get picked off when they come crying for help

The group behind the lawsuit has been behind many, if not most, of the similar lawsuits that have been filed over the years.
There's a big picture issue here, this lawsuit just happens to after a scholarship earmarked toward different minority group.
That big picture issue is taking down any corporate, or institutional program that promotes diversity or helps a particular group.
Do it by income and area. You gotta be smart now.

McDonald’s settles lawsuit over Latino scholarship program by opening door to non-Latino applicants
01/31/25McDonald’s said Friday it is changing — but not eliminating — a scholarship program for Latino students after it was sued by a group that opposes affirmative action.
McDonald’s HACER National Scholarship Program, which was founded in 1985, awards college scholarships to students with at least one Latino parent. The program has awarded more than $33 million in scholarships to more than 17,000 students.
On Jan. 12, the American Alliance for Equal Rights sued McDonald’s over the HACER program. The alliance, which challenges programs that use race or ethnicity as a factor in their decisions, is run by Edward Blum, the conservative activist who also successfully challenged affirmative action programs in college admissions.
On Friday, McDonald’s said it reached a settlement with the American Alliance for Equal Rights that will allow it to consider this year’s applicants. The Chicago company said more than 3,000 students have already applied for this year’s scholarships.
McDonald’s said the program will now be open to any student who can demonstrate an impact on or commitment to the Latino community. Applicants no longer need to have at least one Latino parent.
McDonald’s said it will extend the deadline for this year’s scholarships from Feb. 6 to March 6 to accommodate any new applicants.
Blum applauded the settlement Friday.
“McDonald’s has wisely agreed to end this discriminatory scholarship program,” Blum said. “It is a shame that over many years thousands of students were shut out of this program because they were not the preferred ethnicity.”
McDonald’s is one of many companies that have halted some diversity efforts in the wake of the 2023 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that banned race as a factor in college admissions.
Earlier in January, McDonald’s said it would retire specific goals for achieving diversity at senior leadership levels. It also ended a program that encouraged its suppliers to develop diversity training and to increase the number of minority group members represented within their own leadership ranks.
But in an open letter to employees and franchisees, McDonald’s senior leadership team said it remains committed to inclusion and believes a diverse workforce is a competitive advantage.
McDonald’s said it would continue to support efforts that ensure a diverse base of employees, suppliers and franchisees, but its diversity team will now be referred to as the Global Inclusion Team. The company said it would also continue to report its demographic information

I wonder why latinos dont push harder for these kinds of programs? Not on some Kumbaya , coalition way with black people, but on a monoethnic group basis.McDonald’s settles lawsuit over Latino scholarship program by openinsg door to non-Latino applicants

While black people are a marginal voting black , marginal spending block, and marginal savings block , in contrast hispanics legitimately have the numbers to overturn elections and fund interest groups for dei programs for themselves.
Surely the hispanic intelligencia can see the value of having more latino executives, judges, engineers, scholars, etc. Right?
In my lifetime ive encountered many latinos who legitimately held these certifications and credentials in their homelands but were stuck doing demeaning work in America. Hell ive met Venezuelan janitors that could pick my own mind on computer science and engineering topics, despite their humble position in life. So surely they know the value of these gate kept industries.

Because Latinos and Asians aren't nearly as united as people would like to think. Especially when you consider immigration and citizenship status. Of course it varies.
