The lawsuit filed in federal court alleges that the New York Times passed over the white male employee for a vacant position as deputy real estate editor last year.
According to the complaint, the employee was not given a final round interview, despite extensive experience that matched the requirements of the job.
Eventually, the job went to a multiracial woman who, the EEOC said, lacked experience in real estate journalism.
The EEOC contends that the hiring decision was influenced by the newspaper's goal to increase the number of Black and Latino employees and women in leadership.
In a statement, the New York Times called the allegations politically motivated and wrote, quote, neither race nor gender played a role in this decision.
We hired the most qualified candidate.
