ACA Demands Accountability Following Dr. Oz’s Racist Video

The Armenian Council of America (ACA) adds its full support to the calls for a federal civil‑rights investigation into Dr. Mehmet Oz’s racially charged video targeting Armenian‑owned businesses in Los Angeles.

The suggestion that Armenian‑language signage is proof of criminality isn’t just baseless, it spreads bigotry and has real consequences for the livelihoods and safety of law‑abiding Armenian Americans. Such divisive rhetoric undermines the values of inclusion and fairness that our country strives to uphold.

We strongly endorse Governor Newsom’s official statement and his decision to file a complaint under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. His swift action makes clear that California will not tolerate profiling based on ethnicity and stands firmly with the millions of Armenian Americans who contribute to society.

We echo the Governor’s call for a thorough investigation and for federal authorities to ensure that government officials do not abuse their platforms by promoting racialized stereotypes.

ACA also calls on President Trump to dismiss Dr. Oz from his position as the Administrator of the Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
