A white, male Iraq war veteran is suing a top US bank, saying he was pushed aside in favor of less-qualified candidates in an aggressive diversity-hiring push.
Chris Smith says Ally Financial ignored his 20 years’ experience in security and intelligence work and gave the job he wanted to an ex-Walmart employee because she was a woman.
He got a junior role in the North Carolina office, but was then sidelined by a boss who railed against ‘white supremacy,’ was treated unfairly, and ended up quitting within weeks, he says.
It’s the latest lawsuit from America First Legal (AFL), a campaign group led by former Trump administration officials, that fights diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), policies in the US.
Advocates of DEI say it helps get more women and minorities into colleges and workplaces, but critics say it ends up hurting straight, white men.
