The Obama administration has a figured out yet another way to push preferential treatment on the basis of race, ethnicity, and sex: Convene a big White House conference and extract โ€œdiversityโ€commitments from corporations. Theyโ€™ve done it twice this week already. Big business is terrible on this issue anyway, and is certainly not going to resist any pressure from the federal government. So everyone wins โ€” except, of course, the principle of nondiscrimination and those who end up getting discriminated against in the name of โ€œdiversity.โ€
