Civil rights lawyers have said that a fellowship offered by pharmaceutical giant Pfizer is a violation of the law because it bars whites and Asians from applying.

The Breakthrough Fellowship Program is part of an effort to “increase diversity by fostering a more inclusive workplace” and “increase minority representation” at Pfizer, according to the company.
