The Walt Disney Company has found itself at the center of a significant legal battle. America First Legal (AFL), filed a lawsuit against Disney, alleging that the company's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives constitute illegal discrimination against white American men, in violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The lawsuit claims that Disney's hiring and promotion practices are biased in favor of underrepresented groups, including Black, Latino, and LGBTQIA+ individuals, at the expense of white men, Christians, and Jews. This action is part of a broader critique by some conservative figures who argue that DEI efforts in hiring and promotion are inherently discriminatory and illegal under federal law.
