Born out of the Civil Rights era, the EEOC pivots toward protecting white people
"The EEOC stands ready to combat such discrimination. We are the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, not the Equitable Employment Outcomes Commission."
"The only lawful way to stop discrimination on the basis of race or sex, is to stop discriminating on the basis of race or sex."
"We're working hard to attack race discrimination in every single form that it comes. It doesn't matter who's the victim or who's the oppressor."
Andrea Lucas, chair of the EEOC, reminded Fortune 500 leaders that DEI policies may be illegal if they lead to employment decisions based on race or sex. She urged corporate America to reject identity politics, stating that lawful discrimination prevention requires stopping discrimination based on race or sex. Lucas is changing the agency's priorities, investigating practices that may disadvantage white individuals and encouraging those who feel discriminated against to come forward, emphasizing that discrimination must be addressed regardless of the victim's identity.
