It's not lie. It is a FACT. For 59 years, white Americans have had jobs, job promotions, college admissions, college financial aid, business loans, etc, "taken away" from them by Affirmative Action. This is still happening right now.It’s classic conservative reactionaryism – the unwarranted fear of positive, beneficial change, diversity, and inclusion.
For Republicans this fear manifests as white grievance politics and racist replacement theory – the baseless lie that America is being ‘taken away’ from white Americans; a lie used by Republicans to keep the base ignorant, frightened, and going to the polls.
The result can easily be seen in govt places like the VA hospitals, where employees are 99% non-white. Go look and see for yourself.
