US EditionTrump Says Civil Rights Left Whites ‘Badly Treated’
Trump claims civil rights protections caused unfair treatment of white people, prompting the EEOC to encourage discrimination complaints from white men under new administration policies.
- President Donald Trump said in a New York Times interview that civil rights protections from the 1960s resulted in `reverse discrimination`, harming qualified whites' access to college and jobs.
- Amid a push for `merit-based` hiring, the Trump administration rapidly dismantled DEI offices and last year ordered agencies to halt enforcement of core Civil Rights Act tenets.
- Civil-Rights leaders responded that Derrick Johnson, president of the NAACP, said there is `no evidence that white men were discriminated against` due to the civil rights movement.
- The immediate fallout included civil-rights critics and online commentators calling it white backlash, while labour and civil-rights lawyers said the EEOC shifted enforcement toward white men.
- Observers note the push against DEI ties to backlash against Black Lives Matter, positioning white Americans as victims and potentially reshaping civil-rights enforcement and U.S. higher-education admissions.
