Conjuring up bogus legal claims that can withstand scrutiny in court is apparently more difficult than it appears.
That seems to be the key takeaway from a new report in The New York Times on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commissions attempts to prop up legal claims of antiwhite discrimination.....
According to the Times:
Now, facing pressure to bring more cases for white men as well as claims of discrimination against American-born workers and cases of systemic antisemitism staff in several districts said they were struggling to find complaints with merit. And they said they were pressed by their superiors to look for reasons to keep those cases alive, even when evidence was weak.
The responses to the Times from the Trump administration and the
EEOC seem intent on saving face and giving an air of success to what appears to be a failing quest to prove white men are the subjects of discrimination......
The Times report is filled with details that reflect the EEOCs apparently hapless but nonetheless eager efforts to prop up claims of antiwhite discrimination. For example, it mentioned a director of one of the EEOCs geographic districts telling staffers to assign top priority to claims of antiwhite discrimination. And the Times even described an example that underscores the difficulty that employees had in finding legitimate claims:
In one instance described to The Times, employees had to justify abandoning the case of a white man who said he was the victim of discrimination because he didnt get a job. The job, the offices review found, went to another white man, and all the other applicants were also white men.
True to form, the Trump administration is nonetheless claiming victory. White House spokesperson Liz Huston told the Times that Lucas and the administration are ending illegal D.E.I.-motivated race and sex discrimination and upholding the Constitution.
But that flies in the face of all the companies that have maintained diversity measures amid Trumps onslaught even if they arent using DEI to label them.
trump and company tried and failed to prove that white men are being discriminated against. These efforts are both sad and amusing
