The New York Times is making news itself these days, with a “diversity and inclusion” drive that’s dragged it into court.
One of the most influential liberal news outlets in the nation is facing a federal lawsuit from President Donald Trump’s administration over alleged discrimination against an unidentified white male employee in favor of women, blacks, and other nonwhites when a promotion was at stake.
And the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission clearly isn’t fooling around.
And so it begins. There are millions out there who could say and the same. I am one of them. At the height of DEI I was told by Sr. Exec. not to bother and apply for a better position because “I did not wear the right uniform”.

In the lawsuit, according to theNew York Post, the alleged victim claimed the Times employee had been passed over for a promotion in favor of a final panel of candidates that included “a white woman, a Black man, an Asian female and a multiracial female.”
According to aNew York Timesreport about the suit, the alleged victim claimed that the promotion of a white man would fail to follow the newspaper’s own goals as described in a 2021 document called “Call to Action.”
“A decrease in the percentage of White male employees (whether new hires, existing employees, or those in leadership, as appropriate) was a necessary consequence for the NYT to achieve these results,” the article noted, citing the lawsuit.
The man at the heart of the issue has been working at the newspaper since 2014, according to the New York Times report. Last year, he applied for a job as deputy real estate editor, the newspaper stated. He did get one interview for the job, but never made it to the panel interview stage.
The EEOC lawsuit claims he is more qualified than the person who received the promotion.
