> what you're afraid of is a change in the status quo. You intuit that changing norms, AA, quotas, etc are a threat because you know it will have a material impact on people "like you"
It's perfectly reasonable to be against a change of the status quo if said change is perceived as unjust, or unfavourable, or simply stupid. Change for the sake of change is not progress.
> is that businesses are responding to market signals (that their customers don't have to do business with companies packed to the gills with white men) and changing their practices to remain competitive.
Coinbase (for example), on the other hand is responding to market signals (that their customers are sick and tired of sanctimonious virtue signalling) and changing their practices to remain competitive (offering a politics-free environments to developers who don't want to attend yet another series of courses on how hiring white people is evil). If more and more companies choose to go that way, I suppose you're going to be ok with that?
