As stupid as this is, and I agree, but I also don’t generally feel sorry for anyone playing in that absurd race baiting game. The left and the right have both made complete asses of themselves and the left has basically invited this sort of behavior in a spectacular way.
Just imagine if some right wingers decided to invest in white male ventures only, publicly? Do you really see that going any differently? Is it any more or less valid? The behavior of the left is exactly why the right has fully embraced cancel culture. They’re just trying to do the same thing the left has succeeded at in reverse. The outrage over the right bud light boycott is rather ironic in this way. This is just the right actually succeeding at what the left has literally been teaching them to do for the better part of 10 years. And even longer when it comes to suing companies over arbitrary race and sex quotas. Hence this ridiculous situation you are sharing. People have practically made careers of this. This is what happens when we use government to “fix” social issues. You get 100x the social issues.
The people who make everything about race & sex are very likely to get exactly what they want, it just won’t be in the way they expect. And when it’s purposefully amplified and aggressively shoved into politics to force it down everyone’s throats, there is exactly zero chance it will end positively
TL;DR Politics is a disease, expect symptoms.

I don’t mean to be so poo poo about it, and I do hope they lose the lawsuit. But they are playing the game the left setup. The sensible people on the left should’ve spoken up, but they didn’t. So here we are 🤷🏻♂️
