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.

"Okay, but prove white people can't get this loan."

Reverse racism is still racism; the solution to the problem is not, "More discrimination, just now against more people!"
