   Trump's EEOC issues call for white men to file discrimination suits   
      
   As the president's allies promote ridiculous claims of discrimination   
   against white men, the government's top anti-discrimination organization is   
   calling on purported victims to submit their stories — and potentially win   
   money.   
   Trump feels 'wind at his back' in DEI crackdown: Analyst

   The Trump administration and its allies recently opened up a new frontier   
   in their racist assault on diversity, as Trump's handpicked workplace   
   discrimination enforcer issued an all-points bulletin calling on white men   
   to file suits over diversity policies.   
      
   Andrea Lucas, head of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, released   
   a video last week calling for white men who claim they've been hurt by   
   diversity policies to file claims to potentially "recover money under   
   federal civil rights laws. "   
      
   In an article published one day later, Lucas was quoted telling Reuters   
   that her intent as EEOC chair is to "shift to a conservative view of civil   
   rights, " and she vowed to go after companies with diversity policies next   
   year. And as we've seen from the current regime leading the Justice   
   Department's civil rights division, a "conservative view" of civil rights   
   in Trump's second term often translates to bogus claims of anti-white   
   oppression and to an outright assault on equality.   
      
   Lucas' announcement comes as conservatives – including JD Vance and Donald   
   Trump Jr. — were ramping up their baseless cries that white men are being   
   victimized by dastardly DEI policies.   
      
   To be clear, the conservatives making such claims haven't provided any   
   proof to support their fantasy that diversity policies discriminate against   
   white men. To the contrary, there's ample evidence that white men have   
   benefited from such policies, and furthermore, that Trump's war on DEI   
   stands to hurt them, too.   
      
   There's certainly great irony to cries coming from the MAGA movement about   
   the supposedly forgotten white man. The Trump administration features men   
   like Darren Beattie and Paul Ingrassia, who has essentially maintained that   
   white men must be in charge for the nation to run correctly.   
      
   Now, white men are in charge and yet the administration is still crying   
   victim – supposedly on white men's behalf. Americans are living under   
   arguably the most decidedly white-centric administration in modern history.

   It's not clear this strategy of playing to purportedly oppressed white men   
   will fully satisfy the MAGA horde, however. The Trump administration has   
   faced kvetching from unabashed racists in the MAGA movement for supporting   
   some immigrant worker visas. And Vance has been portrayed as a race-traitor   
   by other bigots like white nationalist Nick Fuentes for marrying his wife   
   Usha, who is Indian-American.   
      
   There are some disturbing historical parallels worth noting here, as well.   
      
   Between the president's repeated diatribes against immigrants, his   
   administration's occasionally violent and unabashedly race-based targeting   
   of nonwhite people under the banner of "immigration enforcement" and now,   
   its open fetishization of the supposedly forgotten white man, Team Trump is   
   closely mirroring some of the most infamous hate-mongers in American   
   history. That includes the Ku Klux Klan and President Woodrow Wilson, who   
   made the supposed valor of white men central to their racist war on   
   nonwhite people.   
      
   Much like Trump, who has falsely suggested white Americans have suffered   
   under incompetent nonwhite people due to diversity policies, Wilson once   
   wrote that the post-Civil War era known as Reconstruction – which was   
   essentially a pro-diversity corrective movement – placed white men under   
   "the intolerable burden of governments sustained by the votes of ignorant   
   negroes. " And he framed the murderous Klan as an organization meant to   
   "protect the southern country from some of the ugliest hazards of a time of   
   revolution. " Wilson is also quoted saying white men had been roused by a   
   "mere instinct of self-preservation" until "at last there had sprung into   
   existence a great Ku Klux Klan" to "protect the southern country. "   
      
   The Klan itself made the valorization of white men a priority, in much the   
   same way Trump and his allies do today. It's easy, for example, to read the   
   following 1922 excerpt from the Klan's "Fiery Cross" newspaper as a   
   precursor to some Trump officials' claims that white men are destined for   
   power in American society, and that diversity is damaging to the country.   
      
   It is God's purpose that the white man should preserve purity of blood and   
   white supremacy in this country. Those who would have it otherwise or show   
   leniency toward the mixing of white and colored races do not deserve the   
   respect of anyone, much less of those who are trying to preserve American   
   institutions, ideals and principles. A mongrel race and a mongrel   
   civilization mean decay and ruin.   
      
   This history is essential, I'd argue, in providing context to the Trump   
   administration's latest efforts to placate and prioritize white American   
   men.
