There is no data to support that, a racial discrimination law should be levied here, because now the action just occurred.

edit: so 20 year old data is being masqueraded as modern civil rights realities. never seen that before in any other topic.

No data? There are supreme court decisions on this:

In 2003 a racial discrimination law favored one group, your premise was about 2021. In the last 18 years (oh wow people born then can vote now!) race-based discrimination statutes are routinely enforced for all groups, including in favor of the majority group when they have been discriminated against by race by a potential or current employer.

Take a quick browse at the EOCC enforcement actions, or California's DFEH, and other agencies and other court cases.

the laws are not pre-emptive.

Should be, but we know it won't.
