The U.S. District Court for the Central District of California has ruled against CBS’s request to dismiss a lawsuit brought by America First Legal (AFL). AFL alleges that the network engaged in anti-white racial discrimination.
This ruling enables AFL to move forward with its lawsuit on behalf of a heterosexual male script coordinator and freelance scriptwriter who claims he was passed over for a writer position on CBS’s “Seal Team” due to diversity hiring criteria.

AFL launched the lawsuit in February, claiming their client, who has been writing episodes for “Seal Team” since 2017, was not hired for a writer role because CBS chose a less experienced black male candidate instead.
This decision from the court is a significant development, allowing AFL to delve deeper into CBS’s hiring practices through extensive discovery. This phase will seek to gather evidence that supports the claim of discrimination, which will be crucial for presenting the case at trial.
