Things have just gone from bad to worse for Bud Light’s parent company Anheuser-Busch.
The company has already been hit with a massive backlash and boycott in recent weeks after its latest advertising campaign that featured Transgender activist and influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
The campaign was not received well by many of the brand’s hitherto fans and has resulted in the company losing millions of dollars in revenue as a result of this ill-thought-out campaign.
But it seems as if things are only getting worse for Anheuser-Busch, as a new lawsuit alleges that the company engages in discriminatory and racist hiring practices.
On Monday, America First Legal (AFL) announced that they were filing a lawsuit against the company alleging racial discrimination in hiring. The lawsuit claims that “Under the cloak of ‘equity,’ woke companies like Anheuser-Busch proudly discriminate based on race, color, national origin, and sex in their employment practices.”
The gist of the lawsuit is that AFL claims that Anheuser-Busch’s Leadership Accelerator Program exists to help “historically underrepresented groups,” which excludes whites and Asian Americans.
In addition, the lawsuit alleges that “The company also advertises an unlawful race-based scholarship and internship program launched by Budweiser and the United Negro College Fund to ‘support 25 black college students’ interested in the brewing industry and to ‘provide five black college students with real-world experience as interns in Anheuser-Busch’s Brewery Trainee Program.'”
