Would Fair consider standing up for the rights of heterosexual white men? DEI programs advocate for 'marginalized groups'. What no one ever talks about is that heterosexual white men are the ONLY group that does not meet that definition. They are the most openly discriminated against group in our country today.

FAIR is organized around the proposition that the most foundational and just classification scheme for arranging human affairs is “human” - a category which, happily, includes everyone. Heterosexual white men are most certainly members of that set! But the rights I hope that FAIR will stand up for are specifically and somewhat exclusively rights that belong to all of us. As such, something is lost when we train our attention and energies on the rights of a specific subset of people as though the specific harms (“discrimination”) which they suffer are greater because they are felt disproportionately. The fair treatment of an individual in the basis of his character and actions rather than his membership in this or that group is one of our civilization’s crowning ideals. I hope that FAIR will, in effect, double down and stay true to the rights of everyone.
