WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California rejected CBS’ attempt to dismiss a lawsuit America First Legal (AFL) filed on behalf of its client, which alleged anti-white racial discrimination by CBS.
In February, AFL sued CBS on behalf of a heterosexual male script coordinator and freelance scriptwriter who has consistently written episodes for CBS’s “Seal Team” television series since 2017. CBS allegedly refused to hire AFL’s client as a writer for the show because he failed to check the right diversity boxes. Instead, CBS hired a black male with little experience.
The Court’s rejection of CBS’s attempt to dismiss the case is a significant development. AFL now can engage in extensive discovery to obtain and reveal evidence of CBS’s employment practices, and its alleged discrimination against AFL’s client, and can then use that information to vindicate his rights in court at trial.
The evidence will show that CBS engaged in illegal discrimination on the basis of race, and AFL looks forward to obtaining ultimate victory for our client.
