In an employment-discrimination case, Judge James Ho of the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals highlighted the concern that the term "diversity" may be used as a code word for discrimination. The plaintiff in the case alleged that when a plant manager mentioned the need for more diversity in the workplace, it was interpreted as a call to hire fewer African Americans. This reflects a broader worry that diversity efforts can lead to discrimination in the workplace and in college admissions. Judge Ho argues that favoring one race necessarily means disfavoring another, regardless of the intentions behind diversity policies. [Extracted from the article]
