The advocacy group America First Legal (AFL) filed a complaint against IBM with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), alleging that the company engages in racial discrimination in employment against Asians in favor of black and Hispanic people.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits companies from engaging in discrimination against an employee or an applicant for employment based on their race, religion, color, national origin, or sex. “However, the evidence is that IBM is knowingly, intentionally, and systematically engaging in such unlawful employment practices,” the Dec. 12 AFL letter to the EEOC said.
