To say that it is "only now" trying to rectify racial disparities is to completely ignore the last 60 years at least.

The civil rights fight in the 60s and the following Nixon and Reagan administrations prove my point more strongly than yours.

The civil rights fight is precisely what I am talking about. The civil rights act, and subsequent legislative and judicial decisions based on that, have fundamentally altered our legal system and our bureaucracy. That a couple presidents tried to undue those changes does not undermine the profound impact to federal policy.
