Judge Orders Minority Business Agency to Serve All Races

A federal judge in Texas ruled that the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) discriminated against white business owners and must now serve all business owners, regardless of race. The judge's decision challenges the agency's mission to help disadvantaged businesses owned by racial and ethnic groups, potentially impacting other government efforts that cater to historically disadvantaged groups. This ruling is part of a broader legal battle over diversity, equity, and inclusion, and is likely to fuel a conservative movement against affirmative action in both public and private sectors.
