Recent COVID19 relief packages in the United States include racial justice measures, such as additional funds without repayment for farmers on the basis of race. Although the COVID19 relief itself seems more comprehensible, it sparked a question among friends regarding how other racial justice efforts are regulated.

Take college scholarships, for example. We are aware of a large number of scholarships available only to specific minority races or to women. Naturally, special scholarships that are officially limited to Caucasian men are not needed and would be socially unacceptable, but how (if ageat all) is that regulated?

Are there laws that prevent scholarships or other financial assistance programs from being offered only to white men but which allow it for other groups? If so, what kind of language is used in this regulation (for instance, if a law allows offering assistance on the basis of race or sex using the term “minorities”, we were wondering if the interpretation of that bill would change if the sex ratio were to change within the country or a field of study, etc).?

How do laws affecting racial and gender justice programs work?
