Sure; in a very direct and topical sense, Kamala Harris' plan to provide African American men with special loans for businesses simply because of their ethnicity.
Affirmative Action hiring.
Nope, that only counts if 1) the Black men getting the loans were no qualified to operate businesses and 2) you can demonstrate that loans on the same terms were unavailable to White men.
I’m given to understand that it’s much more difficult for Black people to get a business loan (or even a mortgage) than it is for White people. So, this isn’t affirmative action, but a case of leveling the playing field.
