""Are you a white male who's experienced discrimination at work based on your race or sex?" Andrea Lucas wrote on X on Thursday "You may have a claim to recover money under federal civil rights laws," she wrote. "The EEOC is committed to identifying, attacking, and eliminating ALL race and sex discrimination -- including against white male employees and applicants.""
"Since coming back to office in January, Trump has sought to shut off diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives run by the federal government. He argues that companies implementing such programs hurt America's white majority. The EEOC is a federal agency created under the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to tackle sexism and racism in the workplace. The EEOC now emphasizes "DEI-related discrimination" on its website."
"Since being named as acting chair of EEOC in January (and later becoming chair in November), Lucas has been shifting the agency's focus to prioritize what she calls "rooting out unlawful DEI-motivated race and sex discrimination, which is aligned with President Trump's own anti-DEI executive orders. Under Lucas, the EEOC is seeking to address what it calls discrimination against American workers. "Many employers have policies and practices preferring illegal aliens, migrant workers, or non-immigrant guest workers (guest worker visa holders) over American workers -- in direct violation of federal employment law," she said in a statement last month."
The acting chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission called on white men to file workplace discrimination claims if they experienced race- or sex-based discrimination. The EEOC said such individuals may have claims to recover money under federal civil rights laws and asserted commitment to eliminating all race and sex discrimination, including against white male employees and applicants. The call followed a post by the vice president criticizing DEI. The Trump administration has moved to curtail federal DEI initiatives and directed the EEOC to prioritize alleged unlawful DEI-motivated discrimination and protections for American workers.
