Trump Administration Urges White Men to File Workplace Discrimination Claims | Firstpost America

The Trump administration has intensified its push against diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), targeting white men in particular. EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas this week urged white male workers who feel discriminated against to come forward, framing claims as legitimate. This aligns with Trump’s broader effort to dismantle DEI programs, emphasise “merit-based opportunity,” and enforce civil rights laws without race- or gender-based preferences. Critics warn these shifts ignore systemic inequalities, while supporters argue DEI has overreached. The debate raises questions about the future of workplace fairness, who civil rights laws protect, and how enforcement priorities may reshape protections for marginalised groups in America.
