Axios: Trump’s DOJ Rewrites Rules for Grant Programs to Benefit White Americans

What is up with Axios lately? They’ve been coming out with some real bangers of headlines recently. After the historic trade deal with the European Union that was nothing but a win for America: “In the Trump-dominated global economy, the U.S. gets plenty but gives nothing in return.” The headline to another story about how supporters of President Donald Trump were getting tired of winning read, “Behind the Curtain: Trump is losing by winning.”
Now, Axios is back with another sketchy headline:

Big if true. Nothing the government does should benefit white Americans.

Russell Contreras writes:

Why it matters: The move follows the administration’s dramatic change to the government’s interpretation of Civil Rights-era laws to focus on “anti-white racism” rather than discrimination against people of color.

The programs have been credited with diversifying those entities and fighting inequality.

However, conservatives on the far right have for years said those programs discriminate against white Americans.

So, grant programs will benefit all Americans regardless of race, is what they’re saying. There’s a proposed Community Note that links to the Justice Department’s website:

The DOJ memo released on July 29th requires entities that receive federal funds or are subject to federal antidiscrimination laws to comply with those laws. The memo does not rewrite grant inclusion rules or standards to “benefit white Americans.”

Asian Americans, whom the Left considers not people of color but “white adjacent.”

DEI is going away, and Axios is big sad. That’s the takeaway from the article.

Editor’s Note: The mainstream media continues to deflect, gaslight, spin, and lie about President Trump, his administration, and conservatives.
