US EditionEEOC chair makes appeal to white men who may have discrimination claims
EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas encourages white men alleging race or sex discrimination to file claims, reflecting a shift in federal focus aligned with Trump administration's anti-DEI policies.
- On Wednesday, Andrea Lucas, EEOC chair, posted on X urging white men who believe they faced discrimination to contact the agency, saying they may have a claim to recover money under civil rights laws.
- In the context of a broader campaign to restore 'merit-based opportunity,' the EEOC outreach follows a viral Compact magazine piece by Jacob Savage, amplified by Vice President J.D. Vance and aligned with the Trump administration's DEI rollback.
- EEOC materials now spotlight 'DEI-related discrimination,' linking enforcement under Title VII, while a 2025 U.S. Supreme Court ruling lowered barriers for some white employees to prove bias.
- Law firms and employment lawyers predict more discrimination claims and urge HR professionals and employers to review EEO policies, while Democratic lawmakers and civil-rights groups criticized the EEOC chair for politicizing the agency.
- Data on pay and employment disparities underscore concerns that dismantling DEI could worsen outcomes as women earned 85 percent of men’s pay last year and Black unemployment hits 8.3% versus 3.6% for white men.
