A "Caucasian" police officer in Chicago is suing because department officials have refused permission for him to identify, officially, as Egyptian and African-American, despite his genetic evidence supporting that ID.
This comes even as the department routinely grants officers the right to choose a gender to be used in their official identity.
The situation is documented by Fox News amid a flood of "diversity, equity and inclusion" ideologies being used by academia, corporations and governmental personnel departments these days, which confirms that being a race other than Caucasian can mean the difference between a job or no job, promotion or no promotion.
Mohammad Yusuf, 43, claims in a federal civil rights lawsuit that he current race, "Caucasian," is incorrect because he identifies as Egyptian and African-American, and since officials allow officers to change their gender at will, he should be able to change his race.
Yusuf charges that he provided the results of a genetic test to show his race and heritage, but the department stonewalled him.
The lawsuit comes amid the department's agenda to let officers change their "gender identity" so that it matches "their lived experience," the legal filing charges.
The police department declined to comment on the dispute, when asked by Fox News Digital.
Yusuf charges he's been overlooked, repeatedly, for promotions because others have labeled him "Caucasian." Those promoted have been "minority applicants" mostly, he said.
The report explained Yusuf, a 20-year veteran, cited the department's procedure to benefit minorities "even if they did not score well on promotional exams," and explains he "scored in the first promotional tier" on a sergeant's exam but was refused promotion.
Since then, he charges, there have been 75 merit promotions to sergeant, but only five have been to Caucasians.
"Despite Yusuf’s exemplary qualifications and the purported race-neutral policy of the Merit System, Yusuf has been repeatedly bypassed for promotion in favor of less qualified candidates, based on their race, specifically African American officers, some of whom had disciplinary issues and were not suitable for the responsibilities of a sergeant," the complaint charges.
He said when he joined the department, his was given the choice of identifying as Caucasian, black or Hispanic. But now the department recognizes a list of other identifications.
The department is accused of violating Title V of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by intentionally discriminating against some individuals based on race.
There have been other fights over racial identity, but not with the same circumstances Yusuf presents.
Rachel Dolezal, for example, became known as a "race faker" after she served as president of an NCAAP chapter but was revealed to not be black.
Confirmed to have a "white" identity she lost a job as a professor of African American studies at Eastern Washington University at the time.
And U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., has been treated by critics as a buffoon for several years since it was revealed she repeatedly had falsely identified herself as "American Indian" in order to advance her career.
It was Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity who presented evidence that for more than 30 years, she "lied about her race 'and used it to get ahead,'" the report said.
For example, in her registration for the state bar in Texas in 1986, she claimed to be "American Indian."
And "Hannity pointed out that Harvard repeatedly used her to boost its 'diversity' bona fides, touting her as 'a person of color' and a 'Native American.'"
She allowed the school repeatedly to describe her as a woman of color, or "Native American," without making a correction.
WND SPECIAL REPORT – "IT'S TRUMP VS. SWAMP PSYCHOPATHS": From the Biden administration's enthusiastic support for amputating body parts of troubled children, to its obsession with bringing as many millions of illegal aliens, terrorists and Chinese soldiers as possible into America, it is increasingly clear that many of this nation's current leaders are, to put it plainly, stark raving mad.
Indeed, psychiatric experts are finally documenting how the symptom profiles of scary conditions like "Borderline Personality Disorder" and "Narcissistic Personality Disorder" PERFECTLY MATCH today's top leaders.
One groundbreaking peer-reviewed study published in 2023 documents how left-wing extremism is closely associated with "psychopathic tendencies." Likewise, retired psychiatrist Brad Lyles, M.D., explains how "one way of understanding the increasingly outlandish beliefs and behaviors of the left is through the lens of Borderline Personality Disorder." And one of America's top forensic psychiatrists, Lyle Rossiter, M.D., described Barack Obama's mental state as "Malignant Narcissistic Personality Disorder."
Consider a typical description of sociopathy: "Sociopaths are often well-liked because of their charm and high charisma, but they do not usually care about other people. They think mainly of themselves and often blame others for the things that they do. They have a complete disregard for rules and lie constantly. They seldom feel guilt or learn from punishments." Remind you of anyone?
From Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to their presidential Cabinet – including Attorney General Merrick Garland, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra – all of these people "have a complete disregard for rules and lie constantly."
But it's not just Democrat leaders. Multiple surveys now show how rank-and-file Democrats are TWICE as likely to be diagnosed with a mental disorder as Republicans – from depression to bipolar disorder to schizophrenia to narcissistic personality disorder. All this and much more is stunningly laid out in the March edition of WND's critically acclaimed Whistleblower magazine, "IT'S TRUMP VS. SWAMP PSYCHOPATHS." Don't miss it – you will see the whole political-cultural-spiritual war raging in the U.S.A. in a whole new light.
