Employment Commission Chair Recasts Workplace Discrimination in Trump's Image [View all]
In December, a 9,000-word essay about white male millennials shot across the internet.
The author, a ticket scalper and frustrated screenwriter, marshaled interviews and data to describe how the professional trajectories of members of his generation had been crushed by what he called the institutionalization of diversity, equity and inclusion mandates, a “profound shift in how power and prestige were distributed.”
Vice President JD Vance reposted the piece, saying it “describes the evil of DEI and its consequences.” Elon Musk responded, calling D.E.I. “a great wrong.”
The essay also caught the attention of Andrea Lucas, the chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the agency, born of the Civil Rights Act, that enforces laws against employment discrimination.
“Are you a white male who has experienced discrimination at work based on your race or sex? You may have a claim to recover money under federal civil rights laws,” Ms. Lucas said in a video posted on Dec. 17 on social media. From her desk at E.E.O.C. headquarters, she referred viewers to the commission’s primer on “D.E.I.-related discrimination.”
