Tell us you’re racist without telling us you’re racist. It’s really not that difficult when you’re part of President Joe Biden’s regime, or Biden himself. So it should come as no surprise that Biden’s Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed a lawsuit for discrimination against a company because they claim not hiring someone for failing a criminal background check is racist.
Hmm, again, tell me how that isn’t racist itself. I’ll wait…
So, the EEOC has filed a lawsuit against Sheetz Inc., which is a convenience store/gas station/restaurant chain, for allegedly discriminating against “Black, Native American and multiracial job seekers by automatically weeding out applicants whom the company deemed to have failed a criminal background check,” as the reported on by the Associated Press (AP).
Ironically, Biden visited a Sheetz in Pennsylvania pretty much at the same time the lawsuit was being filed.
According to the AP:
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed suit in Baltimore against Altoona, Pennsylvania-based Sheetz and two subsidary companies, alleging the chain’s longstanding hiring practices have a disproportionate impact on minority applicants and thus run afoul of federal civil rights law.[…]
Federal officials said they do not allege Sheetz was motivated by racial animus, but take issue with the way the chain uses criminal background checks to screen job seekers. The company was sued under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits workplace discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion and national origin.
So, which is it? Is this form of discrimination racist or not. The government can say they’re not accusing Sheetz of racism, but then went to the trouble of reporting percentages of people that failed the background check by race.

Why would you do that if race isn’t an issue? Here’s what the EEOC reported (even though it’s totally not about race):
The agency found that Black job applicants were deemed to have failed the company’s criminal history screening and were denied employment at a rate of 14.5%, while multiracial job seekers were turned away 13.5% of the time and Native Americans were denied at a rate of 13%.
By contrast, fewer than 8% of white applicants were refused employment because of a failed criminal background check, the EEOC’s lawsuit said.
Again, it’s not about race, but here’s all the ways it is about race? Make it make sense.
Then again, it’s the federal government — making sense isn’t one of their strong suits.
