Conservative legal nonprofit America First Legal (AFL) filed a civil rights complaint against coffee giant Starbucks over its alleged “racially discriminatory hiring practices,” FOX Business has learned.
FOX Business exclusively obtained AFL’s letters to both Starbucks and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) regarding the coffee giant’s hiring practices and professional events held only for black, indiginous, and people of color (BIPOC) employees.
“The American people strongly believe and support policies to advance equality,” AFL vice president and general counsel Gene Hamilton told FOX Business. “But big business, big government, and big education — having been hijacked by radicals and an entire cottage industry of consultants pushing for ‘equity’ — have all abandoned one of the core values at the heart of the American identity.”
