…by race, religion, and gender and have quotas, the real kind, not the imaginary ones in the heads of those who oppose AA and DEI.

Yep, we will surely be “great” once more when our populace is uneducated and only those who are white, male, and are trust fund babies will have access to a higher education.

I know of a few who literally have shrines commemorating the 'glorious' time when the white man was a lesser god and the rest had to bow or pay the price.
