The decision affects private entities that accept some form of federal financial assistance (this is language from Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act), not private entities writ large. Granted, that is still a big bucket.

There's apparently a bit of overlap between Title VI and Title VII. But will likely have a separate case

Sorry, yes, you are right. It’s a similar analysis probably because Title VII is also grounded in the 14th Amendment.
