The head of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has urged white men to report workplace discrimination based on race or sex. Andrea Lucas, a critic of DEI initiatives, posted on social media Wednesday, encouraging affected individuals to contact the agency. Her post followed Vice President JD Vance's criticism of DEI. Critics argue Lucas misunderstands DEI, which aims to create fairness for all, including white men. Former EEOC Chair Jenny Yang calls Lucas' focus on white men "problematic."

The procedure, also called female genital mutilation, includes the partial or full removal of girls' external genitalia. The practice is often performed on girls younger than 5 and is rooted in the concepts of sexual purity and control.
