The only institutions having racial rules are left wing institutions like universities and they're generally racial rules against asians and whites.

Which is exactly what Trump is ending with DEI ban.

Trump is actually the president that is making institutional racism illegal.

I was referring to him targeting hispanic immigrants only in unconstitutional ICE deportations, without legal process. Plenty of rhetoric in his tweets/truth social about how the immigrants here are all criminals. Whether its racism or the belief that Democrats are importing Mexicans to increase their voter base or a mixture of both due to his dementia, then its

As for racial rules, what you are talking about is really affirmative action, which was ruled unconstitutional in 2023. Through the legal process, most importantly. There are arguments that you can make on both sides, but just so you understand the idea for affirmative action isn't to punish whites, its basically to inject diversity into campuses so people become more homogenius (which is a good thing) and you have things like kids from racially poor communities getting a chance of getting a degree getting a start at building generational wealth. Its been proven many times over that if you prop up the lower class of the population, everyone benefits. While affirmative action isn't the best way of doing this, its far from bad - plenty of studies done on this.

However, Trump is not ending institutional racism, he is basically axing funding for programs in schools that align more politically left with a shotgun approach, not giving a fuck about cutting actual programs that may be of value to society. This is vindictive punishment of a man child that lost in 2020, probably coupled with some racism (because Trump has a record of being racist against black people)

Renaming racial admission rules "affirmative action" does not get rid of the racial hierarchy built into these rules.

Whether the goal of those rules is to "inject diversity" or not does not change the racial hierarchy.
