Congress Wants Racial Quotas

| Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance. | |
| Diversity, equity, and inclusion are the national religion. | |
| The initials DEI, pronounced Dei, mean God in Latin. | |
| And DEI is the guiding deity of the United States. | |
| Its goal of equity, repeatedly stated, is equal outcomes for every racial group. | |
| This guarantees disaster because racial groups are not equal. | |
| DEI is everywhere. | |
| Take the American Privacy Rights Act of 2024. | |
| Congress wants to set up rules for how companies use your personal information. | |
| But the bill would force racial quotas into just about every part of our lives. | |
| So far, only Reason Magazine seems to have figured this out in an article called Congress is Preparing to Restore Quotas in College Admissions and Everywhere Else. | |
| There is a vicious bit of language buried on page 35 of the proposed bill. | |
| It's trying to make sure artificial intelligence ignores racial reality and spits out equity. | |
| It would legally require the kind of thinking that made Google's image generation program invent black, Asian, and Indian founding fathers, female popes, and Vikings who look like Genghis Khan. | |
| The bill says... | |
| Algorithms must not have potential harms. | |
| But the definition of an algorithm is so broad it includes anything that uses numbers to make decisions. | |
| That would include banks looking at credit scores to avoid lending money to deadbeats. | |
| But what's the potential harm of that? | |
| Disparate impact. | |
| More blacks and whites have bad scores, so using them to decide who gets loans has a disparate impact on blacks. | |
| The only way to avoid disparate impact would be deliberately to distort decision-making so that people of all races get the same group results, not the same treatment, the same results. | |
| What's this got to do with data privacy? | |
| Nothing. It's about how you use the data. | |
| And you better use it to promote equity. | |
| Disparate impact goes back to a 1971 U.S. Supreme Court decision called Griggs v. | |
| Duke Power. | |
| If you have a standard for hiring, and minorities can't meet that standard as often as whites do, that's disparate impact, and it is assumed to be discrimination. | |
| You might want to hire computer programmers only if they have IQs of at least 125. | |
| That would have a disparate impact on blacks and be illegal because whites are 30 times more likely than blacks to have IQs that high. | |
| Just about any standard, whether it's a passing grade on a test or good credit or not having a criminal record, has a disparate impact. | |
| There are some very capable blacks, but as a group, they almost never measure up. | |
| Some job requirements are essential. | |
| Lifeguards have to know how to swim. | |
| If you can show that your job requirement is absolutely essential for the job, you can stick to it even if blacks are less likely to meet it. | |
| But what's essential? | |
| Do policemen have to have clean criminal records? | |
| Or is it okay to have a few felonies? | |
| It's not easy to prove in court. | |
| That your job standards are essential. | |
| So most companies meet quotas by lowering standards for BIPOCs. | |
| That's what DEI is. | |
| Discrimination against whites and sometimes Asians. | |
| Back to the Privacy Act. | |
| It says anyone using personal data, and that's just about everyone, has to mitigate potential harms from covered algorithms. | |
| And anything that uses numbers is a covered algorithm. | |
| The harm is disparate impact on the basis of individuals' race, color, religion, national origin, sex, or disability status. | |
| Weirdly, the bill also forbids disparate impact on the basis of individuals' political party registration status. | |
| I've never seen that before. | |
| But it means you could have an uplift program for unemployed dropouts. | |
| They are more likely to be Democrats than Republicans, so there would be a disparate impact on Republicans. | |
| As I said, under Griggs, you can have disparate impact for essential hiring standards, but not in this bill, no exceptions. | |
| If you're hiring lifeguards, you have to jigger the algorithm so as to give a boost to blacks, theoretically, even if some of them can't swim. | |
| Insane. It would be the same for systems that help police decide what parts of town to patrol. | |
| Going where the bad guys are always has a disparate impact. | |
| As the Reason article points out, Forcing complex AI systems to eliminate disparate impact leaves users in the dark. | |
| If a bank buys a system to help it make loans, it might not even know that the AI was tuned to try to give American Indians loans at the same rate as Asian Indians. | |
| Both parties in Congress are desperate to do something on data privacy. | |
| Law firms are already analyzing the bill so clients can be ready for it. | |
| I looked at three websites. | |
| They had detailed summaries, but not one even hinted at disparate impact. | |
| Here's an alert from Pillsbury. | |
| At the end, it says the bill may be the best vehicle for finally passing the U.S. national standard on privacy. | |
| Almost at the very top of its homepage is Diversity and Inclusion at Pillsbury. | |
| Hear from our lawyers. | |
| This nice black lady explains how wonderful and diverse Pillsbury is. | |
| All these firms whoop about diversity. | |
| They have clearly read the bill, and they must think fighting disparate impact everywhere is just fine. | |
| President Biden. | |
| He loves to brag about the CHIPS Act. | |
| Which promises $39 billion to bribe companies to build chips in America. | |
| Companies love handouts, but as this article says, DEI killed the Chips Act. | |
| How'd it do that? | |
| To get your hands on the swag, you've got to hire loads of women, minorities, and ex-cons to build chips. | |
| If not enough women, minorities, and ex-cons know how to build chips, you have to train them. | |
| It's crazy. | |
| If you're building a plant, you have to hire women, minorities, and ex-cons to build it and provide child care for these imaginary lady electricians and bulldozer drivers. | |
| As the article notes, the world's best chipmakers are tired of being pawns in the Chip Act's political games. | |
| They've quietly given up on America. | |
| How's this for a headline? | |
| Biden's DEI rules are worse than Hamas. | |
| Top microchip makers are postponing U.S. expansion and instead expanding in dangerous Israel because American grants come with so many equity caveats. | |
| Well, that was Intel. | |
| Taiwan's semiconductor manufacturing company, the world's top producers, sniffed at the money and decided to let Joe Biden keep it. | |
| Instead, it's building a second plant in Japan, which is not run by morons. | |
| Chipmakers can just build new factories somewhere else. | |
| But in this privacy bill, there is no way out. | |
| Here's more equity foolishness. | |
| The California lower house has already passed a bill to require shorter criminal sentences for BIPOCs. | |
| It passed 58-13 and is now in the Senate. | |
| It requires that whenever the court has discretion to determine the appropriate sentence, the court presiding over a criminal matter shall consider the disparate impact on historically disfranchised and system-impacted | |
| populations. The court presiding over a criminal matter shall consider the disparate impact on historically disfranchised and system-impacted populations. | |
| Disparate impact again. | |
| The only way to avoid it is to have equal outcomes, not equal treatment for people of different races. | |

|
| Not enough white guys in the big house for armed robbery? | |
| Well, just stop sending black armed robbers to prison. | |
| Speaking of California, guess how many full-time equity bureaucrats there are at Stanford University? | |
| At least 177. | |
| And guess which school has the most? | |
| The highest concentration is in Stanford's medical school, which has at least 46 diversity officials. | |
| I used to think that at least med schools... | |
| And flight training wouldn't fall for this stuff. | |
| Silly me. | |
| That's where you have to lower the standards the most, because all that wicked disparate impact viciously kept BIPOCs out for generations. | |
| These are astonishing times. | |
| Just three weeks ago, I made a video called Where DEI Comes to Die. | |
| Eleven states have passed laws banning anything that smells of DEI in state universities. | |
| And at one university, the whole Gender Studies Department got the axe. | |
| The feds, though, are completely ruled by DEI, as are some of the states. | |
| But other states aren't. | |
| Assuming this crazy privacy law doesn't kill off good sense everywhere, divisions between states will widen. | |
| California doctors could get a reputation for killing patients, while Florida doctors save lives. | |
| Maybe we can carve out a few corners of sanity. | |
| In a country gone mad. | |
| They could be models for the rest of the country. | |
| Or maybe just havens for Americans who don't worship the new day. | |
