Head of EEO Commission asks white men to report DEI-related discrimination

December 20, 2025 | | Print Article

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is, for the first time in its history, focusing on anti-white discrimination.

On Wednesday, EEOC chair Andrea Lucas published a video to social media encouraging white people, particularly white males, to file a report if they’ve experienced anti-white discrimination at work.

“Are you a white male who has experienced discrimination at work based on your race or sex?” she said. “You may have a claim to recover money under federal civil rights laws. Contact the EEOC as soon as possible. Time limits are typically strict for filing a claim.”

Launched in 1965 primarily to enforce the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the EEOC has in recent years been abused to promote so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion — also known as DEI.

Many see DEI as a backwards, zero-sum ideology that argues that past discrimination by one’s ancestors warrants present discrimination against those ancestors’ great-great-grandchildren.

Under the Trump administration, the EEOC has launched a webpage where victims of DEI-related discrimination can file a claim.

“Under Title VII, DEI policies, programs, or practices may be unlawful if they involve an employer or other covered entity taking an employment action motivated—in whole or in part—by an employee’s race, sex, or another protected characteristic,” the page reads.

“In addition to unlawfully using quotas or otherwise ‘balancing’ a workforce by race, sex, or other protected traits, DEI-related discrimination in your workplace might include” unfair promotions/terminations, exclusion from special programs, harassment, and retaliation, the page continues.

Under the Biden administration, the EEOC not only ignored DEI-related discrimination but also outright promoted it.

During a House Oversight Committee hearing in the summer of 2024, witnesses “testified that U.S. companies are pushing unlawful diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs and” that the EEOC was doing nothing about it.

“The EEOC ignores obvious facial violations of the plain text of the law when not politically convenient, even when companies go so far as to proudly announce their non-compliance,” witness Inez Feltscher Stepman of the Independent Women’s Forum said. “The EEOC has an obligation to enforce Title VII as written by Congress and interpreted by federal courts, not as its bureaucrats wish it to be.”

“That means making it clear that it’s illegal for companies to discriminate on the basis of race in employment decisions, whether the people being discriminated against are white, black, or any other race, and regardless of whether EEOC bureaucrats approve or disapprove of the political rationale behind the discrimination,” she continued.

“Under the Biden Administration, the EEOC has demonstrated a pattern of public activity inconsistent with the law,” committee chairman James Comer added.

“And when presented with evidence of discriminatory practices at companies, the EEOC appears to have taken no action at all. In the worst cases, EEOC appears to have filed amicus briefs actually defending the ability of companies to engage in racially discriminatory practices,” he continued.

Former Obama administration EEOC Commissioner Chai Feldblum, a leftist, is not surprisingly upset by the agency’s new focus. He told NBC News that it’s part of a pattern of “very serious problematic actions” the agency has taken since Trump assumed office.
