Bud Light’s Dylan Mulvaney problem may have gotten bigger.
As the beermaker Anheuser-Busch reels from the ongoing backlash from the right generated by its partnership with the far-left transgender influencer, allegations emerge that Bud Light’s parent company, Anheuser-Busch, discriminated against men, whites, and Asian-Americans in its employment practices.
According to The Blaze on Wednesday, the legal aid group America First Legal, founded by Stephen Miller and other associates tied to former President Donald Trump, sent a letter to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission requesting an investigation into potential civil rights violations at Anheuser-Busch.

“In the letter,” The Blaze reported, “AFL argued that Anheuser-Busch had violated federal law — which forbids discrimination based on an individual’s ‘race, color, religion, sex, or national origin’ — by privileging applicants and employees from ‘historically underrepresented groups’ over their white and Asian-American counterparts.”
This was done “to appease woke leftists.”
As an example, according to The Blaze, AFL told the EEOC that Anheuser-Busch’s 2023 Leadership Accelerator Program, which seeks to fast-track staffers into executive posts, “specifically invited candidates ‘who identify as Black, Latinx, and Native American’ and those from ‘a historically underrepresented group’ to apply.”
The AFL also noted that Anheuser-Busch launched scholarship and internship opportunities that discriminated against whites and Asians. Such initiatives included the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, which was set aside for “Hispanic students interested in a career in sports,” as well as a partnership between Budweiser and the United Negro College Fund.

The latter covered tuition for 25 black college students and to mentor five black interns in Anheuser-Busch’s Brewery Trainee Program.
The AFL group also noted that careers of qualified male employees were sacrificed to boost the number of women in the company’s senior leadership team. Anheuser-Busch’s annual “diversity, equity, and inclusion” report is “almost entirely dedicated to the growth of only women in the workforce,” the AFL letter said.
In a press release about the letter to the EOC, AFL stated, “Notably, the company fails to define what it means by the term ‘women.’ As the corporation responsible for Bud Light, and as an eager and willing partner with and funder of ‘transgender activist’ and biological male Dylan Mulvaney, it is safe to assume that the company’s definition of a woman is not limited to biological females.”
The Blaze noted that AFL at times labels employment practices at Anheuser-Busch as “divisive, illegal, and immoral” and as “odious and destructive.”

AFL General Counsel Gene Hamilton said the historic brewer has rotted under its “weak-kneed corporate leadership,” which “routinely” serves “an ever-changing notion of ‘social justice.'”
In his statement, Hamilton added, “All racial discrimination is wrong, and race-based employment programs or opportunities are antithetical to the American ideal.”
“Equality under the law will never be achieved in the United States,” he continued, “if its largest corporations are permitted to engage in blatant discrimination against certain groups of citizens.”
