[QUOTE="trainee4u, post: 208365, member: 30779"] UK & US DEI practices have differed. For example, US universities discriminated against Asian & white and in favour of black candidates, known as "affirmative action" or "positive discrimination". For example, for Harvard, black students in the 70th-80th percentile of academic ability had a 41% chance of admission, whereas for white students it was 5%, and Asians 4% This was found to be unconstitutional in 2023 by a partisan Supreme Court (split 6-3 by appointing party). This has never been legal in the UK: you can only have "positive action". Also affirmative action was created by Executive Order (of JFK), and they seem to do a lot more on the stroke of the Presidential pen (including/excluding sex in transgender, for example), whereas in the UK a lot of these things historically came from the ECtHR (e.g., the Gender Recognition Act 2004, following Goodwin), EU as well as primary legislation (which seldom gets rolled back).
