Antiracist policies get banned while policies favoring Whites remain untouched.

Evidence

California voters banned affirmative action, or “preferential treatment,” in public employment, contracts, and education. Neither funding allocation policies for public colleges and K–12 schools nor standardized tests—both of which preferentially treated White, rich, and male students—were banned. The percentage of African Americans at University of California campuses began to decline. — Ibram X. Kendi, Stamped from the Beginning, 1155

Categorization

• XREF: Directly instantiates Kendi’s core inversion: policy (the ban) precedes and serves self-interest, with the rhetoric of ‘preferential treatment’ framing. Connects to the Prologue’s argument about racist policy preceding racist ideas.
