Our civil rights act only really covers Blacks with ancestors from south of the Sahara and maybe Latinos and Native Americans. I know of a professor who was targeted and was Italian American, the school wanted more balance in their faculty and over a couple of decades the case went through State and Local Court. Even with an overt admission that they had decided to rebalance their lineup of professors which contradicted sworn testimony the case was denied in Federal Appellate court as Italian-American wasn't a protected class. The intent of the Civil Rights Act was to temporarily protect a few select groups while they got a chance to catch up. That is still an unfinished goal. I really hope skilled and caring attorneys can right this misuse of this law.
