Back in the late 70s or early 80s when conservatives were having hissy fits about affirmative action (DEI 1.0), I read a column where the pundit pointed out that white men really had no room to complain about affirmative action hiring when they had enjoyed that very thing for over 200 years.

Still true over 40 years later. Only the terminology has changed.
