As a non-lawyer and all around moron that doesn't understand any of this, can you explain to me what a social stigma against demographics means and how it effects Apple?


Look, it's high-level stuff, especially for a layman. Even "actual lawyers" obviously struggle with it.

The key to remember is it's the Biden DOJ, not me, that says in its lawsuit it's relying on social stigma against, say, blacks, for example, to sue Apple.

You have to understand that just because the DOJ, much less the Biden administration, says it is so doesn't mean they are right or will win the suit on that basis. The DOJ files suits and also files them on invalid grounds and loses.

It's a pure bullshite argument; the anti-trust laws were never enacted to enforce social engineering. Hopefully, the lower courts, and if not, the Supreme Court will eventually make short shrift of it.

Where did the petition reference racial stigma?

That's literally exactly why they were enacted, whether you support it or not.

Regulating economics and variables of economics like monopolies/trusts, by default, is social engineering.
