Fox News: Federal commissioner fires back at Mark Cuban for diversity claim, delivers warning about DEI: 'More problems'
Federal commissioner fires back at Mark Cuban for diversity claim, delivers warning about DEI: 'More problems'
Andrea Lucas, a commissioner for the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, spoke to Fox News Digital about the misunderstanding surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. She addressed billionaire Mark Cuban's viral tweet about considering race and gender in hiring decisions, stating that it could potentially lead to a lawsuit. Lucas emphasized that using race or sex as a factor in employment decisions violates Title VII. She also discussed the controversy surrounding diversity quotas and explained that while having goals is not prohibited, quotas are considered a direct violation of the law.

Lucas expressed concern about the misperceptions surrounding DEI initiatives and how they may create more problems than they solve. She argued that focusing on equal opportunity, rather than introducing more discrimination, is the way to address barriers faced by certain groups. Lucas disagreed with Cuban's belief that diversity can be a competitive advantage, asserting that discrimination based on race is always illegal. She emphasized that the law is clear on these matters and that muddying the water with arguments about reverse race discrimination is mistaken.
