Korean American media mogul Soohyung Kim filed a racial discrimination lawsuit on Wednesday accusing the Federal Communications Commission of derailing an $8.6 billion deal.

FIRST ON FOX – Media mogul Soohyung Kim filed a lawsuit on Wednesday accusing the Federal Communications Commission of derailing an $8.6 billion deal to purchase Tegna Inc. because of racial discrimination because he was not the "right type of minority" for the FCC’s diversity goals. "I am suing the FCC because they need to be held accountable for racially discriminating against me. The disparate and unfair treatment in my case is undeniable and unnecessarily divisive.

The FCC makes no secret about the role race plays in its decisions. Race is a factor in deciding whether to approve broadcast license transfers. The FCC tracks broadcast ownership by the race of broadcast owners," Kim’s lawyers wrote in the complaint before noting that the FCC recently reported to Congress that "advancing equity" is core to the agency’s management and policymaking processes.
