That document has been bastardized so many times over the last 50 years that Congress needs to do its job. Outside of that thier is always going to be difference of opinion both personally and in the courts.
The "every court has agreed" stance was also used in SSM until courts started to not agree. SCOTUS settled that one although the vote was as close as it could get and the decent was we failed to follow the constitution.
The idea that the CRA only protects minorities is a myth. It prevents discrimination based on a number of different things, but doesn't specify non-white, female, etc. The CRA protects someone from discrimination whether it is because of them being white or them being black, male or female, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, it doesn't matter.
