While it looks bad they could humor us with the # in each group from each decile who applied. If there are only 6 blacks from top 2 deciles, a good chance you'll admit.

The Justice Department filed notices in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas and the Eastern District of Tennessee on behalf of the Small Business Administration regarding 2,965 small businesses that had been approved for funds under the Restaurant Revitalization Fund.

A conservative legal group founded by Stephen Miller and Mark Meadows, close aides to former President Donald Trump, had filed a lawsuit in Texas on behalf of the owners of the restaurant Blessed Cajuns, arguing that the Biden administration's efforts to prioritize applicants on the basis of race and gender is unconstitutional [....]
