Washington state's equity director was fired after facing accusations of bias against certain genders and racist comments toward Mexican and Hispanic employees.
, said Johnson had an"us vs. them" mentality when it came to Hispanic coworkers, often singling them out for not having"lived experiences" of racism.
Johnson's management style was brought up in several examples, including an instance of her proclaiming she rules with brass knuckles and a velvet glove," which the employee argued was a"metaphor was associated with White supremacy because of its violence."and gender, with one White female employee claiming the former director told her not to braid her hair because it was"cultural appropriation.
"I am absolutely blessed that I got to do this job, and I stand by what I did, and I stand by the community that I was trying to help in my tenure at the Office of Equity," Johnson said in a statement posted to social media."I would hope that [Gov. Inslee] continues to provide employees across the state the opportunities that they deserve and continue the work of accountability to make everyone’s lives better.
According to the Washington Office of Equity website, Johnson has since been replaced by Megan Matthews, who is currently serving as acting director. The office did not immediately respond to a Fox News request for comment.Get all the stories you need-to-know from the most powerful name in news delivered first thing every morning to your inbox
