US appeals court rejects challenge to Trump's efforts to ban DEI

4. Same reason it always was

Law is an interesting thing. The more money you have in your tin and the less pigment you have in your skin the more likely you are to win. Justice is not blind and never was.

It is empirically clear that this attack on DEI is racist to the bone but by forcing organizations or others to fight every single agency action on a grant is an impossible hill to climb. No one has that kind of money not to mention each case could take years to get all the way through the courts to an actual final decision. By that time it won't even matter because if a project isn't funded the organization can't spend years fighting that in court and just has to move on. Their ruling is very literally meant to protect this administration.
