“Our employment practices are merit-based and focused on recruiting and promoting the best talent in the world,” Rhoades Ha added.

“No one is above the law — including ‘elite’ institutions,” said EEOC Chair Lucas in a statement. “There is no such thing as ‘reverse discrimination’; all race or sex discrimination is equally unlawful, according to long-established civil rights principles. The E.E.O.C. is prepared to root out discrimination anywhere it may rear its head.”

The New York Times is the latest target in the Trump administration’s anti-DEI push. In February, the EEOC issued a subpoena investigating Nike’s diversity policies, claiming they’re discriminating against white workers, months after Lucas, the EEOC’s Trump-appointed chair, launched an investigation into the diversity, equity, and inclusion practices of 20 major law firms. Similarly, in December 2025, Lucas posted a PSA on X, encouraging white males who have “experienced discrimination at work based on your race or sex” to file claims “to recover money under federal civil rights laws.”

Ultimately, the lawsuit asks the court to issue an injunction barring the Times from “discriminating against employees because of race or sex,” along with back pay for the complainant. Rhodes Ha says the publication plans to vigorously defend itself against these claims.

“The New York Times categorically rejects the politically motivated allegations brought by the Trump administration’s E.E.O.C.,” she noted.

However, the implications of this case go far beyond one editor and one job posting. If this lawsuit succeeds, it doesn’t just chill diversity hiring at the Times, but also sends a message to every newsroom in the country about what happens when you try.

>>1513406
>“The allegation centers on a single personnel decision for one of over 100 deputy positions across the newsroom, yet the E.E.O.C.’s filing makes sweeping claims that ignore the facts to fit a predetermined narrative,” said Danielle Rhoades Ha, a spokeswoman for The Times. “Neither race nor gender played a role in this decision — we hired the most qualified candidate, and she is an excellent editor.”
She's literally correct btw. This lawsuit is about one guy not getting a promotion, then trying to work backwards to claim their HIRING practices show they discriminated against him getting said promotion. Even though, you know, they did actually fucking hire him.

It is. Being anti-white still makes you a racist and judging someone's fitness for rights or cancellation based on race still makes you a chud, whether you're liberal or conservative.

>uh...uh...

>>1513497
The thing is, mediocre white chuds actually are being excluded as a group because of DEI.

Whites only employment policies have to exclude a lot of top tier candidates for purity reasons, so as you keep going down the list they have to fill a lot of roles with underqualified white chuds

Every qualified DEI hire pushes out a mediocre white chud.

They're being genocided, and I love it

>>1513497

Yes, yes, I know the bit. Feigning ignorance doesn't make a difference. DEI, and other attempts to address existing racism, are not racist.

>>1513499
>All racial discrimination is universally bad across the board anon.
And a white man demanding he be given a promotion just because he's white isn't?

This guy has literally offered zero evidence his lack of promotion was in any way related to them wanting more minority hires.

>>1513488
>>1513497
NYT said they wanted to discriminate against Whites. Then a White male was denied a promotion. Maybe it's a coincidence. Maybe the other person really was more qualified. But if Fox News said that they would discriminate against Black women and then denied a promotion to a Black woman, I'll bet you would assume she was discriminated against.

>>1513643

They did not.

Your reverse uno card rascism is pathetic. This wild push by white supremacists across the country to claim any attempt to balance power away from the massive control that white peoples have is actually racist to whites… shut the fuck up. You have had all the power for all of existence. I know you hate seeing skin that doesn’t match your own. But your genetics are inferior. Your skin is inferior. Your brain is inferior. Your culture is inferior. Die alone while the rest of the world keeps fucking till we are all a mixed race hue.

>>1513665
If we swapped the races in your post, you'd sound like a white supremacist. From assigning moral and biological traits based on race, to the idea that all white people are collectively responsible for every historical power structure - that's literally white supremacist rhetoric with the labels swapped.

Ironically, the political right is far more responsible for hurting marginalized people, including white people who are poor, queer, disabled, immigrants, or otherwise outside the "correct" mold. Those people are routinely exploited, disenfranchised, and scapegoated by the exact systems you're supposedly railing against.

You're basically a right-wing strawman brought to life. Your rhetoric is politically self-destructive. There are natural allies sitting all around you, but instead of building solidarity you're preaching racial essentialism like a grand fucking dragon.

Younger white voters see rhetoric like this and conclude - correctly - that you're judging people by skin color while pretending it's morally enlightened because it's aimed at the "right" targets. Then they drift toward reactionary politics because at least those movements openly admit they're playing identity politics.

If you genuinely want to affect change, shut the fuck up. You're moving in the exact opposite direction.

>>1513666
ok but this guy's evidence for why he didn't get promoted basically boils down to "They want to hire more minorities, therefore that's why I didn't get promoted".

>>1513669
So this guy's a retard, don't turn around and become a nazi about it.

>>1513673
Just pointing that out. You can make arguments about anti-white discrimination all day but when it comes down to this specific lawsuit, the evidence this guy wasn't promoted solely because of race doesn't really add up. Hell the NYT's response indicates he didn't even have the proper experience required for the position.

>>1513665
>hypocrisy is fine!
>b-b-but you can't be a hypocrite against me!!
White rightards deserve perecution & bigotry against them for the crime of being rightards, and for the crime of existing.
If they can't take it, they don't have the right to dish it out. And your wrong opinions are even more reason why white rightards only deserve persecution & bigotry.
>I know you hate seeing skin that doesn’t match your own
I'm white - unlike the non-American that is you, shill - thus it's fine to persecute & be bigoted against white rightards.
>But your genetics are inferior
I'm not the shill that infected /news/ whose genetics resulted in the single brain cell that makes it behave the way it does in /news/. I don't behave the way you do here, so what's your excuse?
>Your skin is inferior
>Your brain is inferior
Says that which can only project
>Your culture is inferior
Says that which avoids toilets.
>Die alone while the rest of the world keeps fucking till we are all a mixed race hue
Says the projecting non-American that will die alone, and will never be a white American. And probably isn't even in America as it posts its wrong opinions that only deserve to go into the trash. And is the insecure >>1513655 that continues to prove it is by merely continuing to exist in /news/ because its supposedly 'superior mindset - or it wouldn't need to be here if it wasn't insecure - is proven to be inferior.
Because that's what projecting shills such as you are, >>1513665 : inferior.

>>1513674
Of course it doesn't
Mediocre white chuds are getting pushed out of society by smart and qualified nonwhites, and it'll keep happening and we'll keep hearing mediocre white chuds complain about it

>>1513669
He's right though. In any reasonable distribution of employment, every job should be at least 70% white Americans, because the country is 70% white Americans, but the racist policies that many corporations follow require there to be at least 50% minorities, which means they're being given disproportionate representation based on racist lines.

>>1513677
>White rightards deserve persecution and bigotry
And there it is. Racism and bigotry is okay as long as its against the people you don't like. You may find this difficult to believe, but you're exactly like the people you hate, verbatim. The only difference is that you picked a different skin color to be racist about.

>>1513679

Diversity and inclusion will also be factored into employee assessment and compensation beginning next year.

During the peaceful protests where Black people and leftists peacefully killed people because they wanted Black criminals to murder cops, Black NYT employees complained that NYT wasn't racist enough so NYT agreed to be more racist.

And can you answer the previous question. How are they "hiring black people instead of white people" rather than "hiring black people in addition to white people"?
Was it bad that previously white only companies started hiring black people after segregation ended in places like the USA or south africa? That decreased the percent of white people at the company.

Yeah, that's what it supposed to look like you colossal faggot. Because whites actually are the best and hiring minorities is a direct expression of racism and discrimination. Why else would you want them if not to discriminate against the best? Would you not otherwise just hire the best?
