Democrats are racists. This is what they do.

A former American Express employee on Tuesday sued the credit
card company, alleging that he was fired because he is white and
objected to the company's "racially discriminatory" policies,
Fox Business reports.

Brian Netzel, who lost his job in 2020 after 10 years at
American Express, filed a class-action complaint against the
credit card giant. He said he and other white employees faced
discrimination because of the company's "diversity" efforts.

American Express poured billions of dollars into "antiracism"
policies in the aftermath of George Floyd's death in 2020.
Earlier this month, the company pledged to devote an additional
$3 billion to a "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Action Plan."

According to Netzel's lawsuit, American Express's implementation
of these "antiracism" policies "gave preferential treatment to
individuals for being black and unambiguously signaled to white
employees that their race was an impediment to getting ahead in
the company." Executives were given monetary incentives to
"decrease the percentage of white employees in their
departments."

An American Express spokesman in a statement to Fox Business
denied that the company provides any discriminatory incentives,
calling Netzel's claims "false and without merit."

American Express is not the first corporate giant to face
backlash for woke policies, nor is it the first time the company
has faced this type of complaint. Coca-Cola in April 2021 was
accused of violating the Civil Rights Act for implementing a
racial quota for hiring outside legal counsel, the Washington
Free Beacon reported. In June of this year, former American
Express employee Nick Williams filed a similar lawsuit to
Netzel's, saying the company fired him for fighting against woke
policies, racial quotas, and Critical Race Theory training in
the company.

An anti-woke activist group in March launched a $500,000
campaign against American Express's "antiracism" policies and
pledged to support Williams's case.

"They've been subjected to seminars and trainings that labeled
them as bigots," Netzel's attorney David Pivtorak told Fox
Business, "denied opportunities due to the color of their skin,
and—to add insult to injury—punished and fired for asking to be
treated equally."

"Once the truth about American Express's virulent discrimination
is exposed in court, I have no doubt that it will be a clear
warning to the rest of the country about the dangers of woke
capitalism," Pivtorak added.
