A conservative legal group is accusing the Biden administration of directing the Internal Revenue Service to audit more white and Asian Americans in an effort to boost 'equity.'
The America First Legal Foundation, a nonprofit that seeks to fight executive overreach, filed a Freedom of Information Act request on Tuesday claiming that an executive order President Biden signed last week encourages the IRS to alter its algorithms to audit more white and Asian taxpayers — and fewer black taxpayers.
Though the Executive Order on Further Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through The Federal Government does not specifically mention audits, it directs federal agencies — including the IRS — to find ways to make their practices more 'equitable' to underserved communities.
Specifically, the order directs agencies to 'prevent and remedy discrimination, including by protecting the public from algorithmic discrimination.'
America First Legal Foundation is now investigating how that could affect the IRS, seeking internal documents from the agency referring to its efforts to improve 'equity' amongst Americans.
Under federal law, the Treasury Department now has just 20 business days to respond to the request.

He’s not “racist”. He’s just dishing out social Justice to the 2 races that unjustly make the most money, are the most successful and are the most law abiding and honest. That’s all.
He is now and has always been just a greedy, camera-hungry opportunist "from Scranton."
That said, he is fully capable of catering to those who adhere to ideologies.
Regarding his new algorithm (I doubt he can define or spell algorithm), he is catering to Social Justice Warriors who believe that anyone who is smart and/or values excellence is the enemy of Social Justice.
As an aside, did you know that there is an enemy the Social Justice Warriors don't often speak of...the real enemy? Christian Privilege.
Can someone explain to me how it is equitable to target one group of people over the other by the color of their skin? How would the IRS know your race or skin color? It shouldn’t. All they are getting is a paper or electronic filing.
Targeting for audit by the ethnic name? Setting up an algorithm to flag more audits because of how your name might sound?
This is unequal under the law. It is nothing but setting up of the government to harass the people.
keeping the races well divided feeding one and starving the other, demonizing one and allowing the other to avoid pesky laws, hiring one for what they are instead of who they are and denying the other becuase they are white and privileged
That’s the point—harass white people and take their money to give the “underserved”.
Well, obviously Math is.
Target the types who commit the most tax fraud. They know who they are.
Now we know OBastard has his hand up the puppets ass.
Yeah, but how do you target politicians?
Disparate impact if objective filters for likely tax issues flag more blacks and Hispanics.

The achievers and the producers! In biden’s world, the hard working, intelligent successful people must have their money seized and given to non-achievers so as to have “equity’.
Result: you get significantly more slackers who take the money and blame their failures on the achievers.
You realize that this is a prelude to reparations? With their hands in our wallets they will be able to take what they want when they want and give it to who they want.
America is turning into South Africa. Take all assets from “whitey” and give it to blacks. Sure. Take the money, farms, land and houses away from white people. Have you noticed the Democrats in America doing this are mostly old, WHITE people? They are not giving up THEIR wealth and privilege.
Their objective is a murderous, non-functioning society like South Africa, which, by the way, now is experiencing a near collapse of its electric grid. Its “equity” plan awards government contracts only to companies with key black executives. The graft and corruption has run wild and nothing works when incompetent crooks take most of the money and can’t actually build something that functions.
Black lives matter but such anti-white policies end up destroying basic infrastructure, law and order. It’s a society run by gangsters and thieves.
Where the F is SCOTUS????
What you are saying in a nutshell is that the USA no longer has a Constitution or SCOTUS.
“Is Biden a racist?”
Naa, he is simply pandering for votes from the perpetually aggrieved, offended, victimized and marginalized BLM members and their allies.
I expect a new “White Tax” soon.
The makers should not suffer the takers.
