private institutions can still use whatever criteria they want. i don't think this applies to hiring practices, housing, etc. but affirmative action has been gone from california's public institutions since 1996:

of course they are prohibited from doing it... but the same way grocery stores arent required by LAW to hire one "mentally handicapped" person.. they all do for the tax breaks.. your race breakdown will change everything about how your business is run/paid for
