New York Times Sued for ‘Discriminating Against White Male Editor’
6th May 2026
The New York Times (NYT) has been sued for alleged discrimination against a white male employee after he was passed over for an editor’s job which went to a multiracial woman.
The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) accused the newspaper of breaching civil rights law by discriminating against the unnamed male candidate based on his race or sex, according to the complaint filed in Manhattan federal court.
The unnamed complainant, who has worked at the newspaper since 2014 and says he has “considerable experience with real estate news”, was interviewed for the deputy property editor role, but not advanced to the final round.
I wish Scott Adams had lived to see this day.
