Washington –
Donald Trump’s pledge to fight what he calls “anti-white sentiment” in the US is likely to embolden allies seeking to dismantle government and corporate programs designed to combat racism and increase diversity in American life.
Some high-profile supporters of the former president, now the 2024 Republican presidential candidate, say policies protecting people of color in classrooms, workplaces and charities should be repurposed to also protect the rights of white people.
“I think there is a definite anti-white sentiment in this country,” Trump told Time in an interview published Tuesday. “Honestly, I don’t think it’s very difficult to address this. But I think the laws are very unfair right now.”
