President Donald Trump said that landmark civil rights protections ushered in during the 1960s have resulted in white people being treated “very badly.”

The president was interviewed by The New York Times last week and was asked whether he believed civil rights protections that began in the 1960s with the passage of the Civil Rights Act “resulted ultimately in the discrimination against white men.”

Last month the (EEOC) agency’s acting chair, Andrea Lucas, posted a video on social media asking: “Are you a white male who has experienced discrimination at work based on your race or sex?”

Lucas — a prominent critic of diversity, equity and inclusion efforts — said white men “may have a claim to recover money under federal civil rights laws.”
