First Racial Discrimination Lawsuit Launched Against Hollywood for Its Illegal DEI Quotas

A straight white man had written numerous scripts for the CBS show "SEAL Team" as a freelancer, including a season three finale (which would suggest he's a good writer, because the anchor episode is important).

He was praised by the show's producers for his talent.

He applied for a job as part of the show's writers room.

Despite the fact that he was obviously good at writing episodes for this show, the job was given to a black woman. Of course.

He says he was told, explicitly, that he hadn't got the job because they only wanted to give jobs to blacks and other minorities.

This is illegal; quotas are against the law, period. The law permits -- maybe -- giving some races or sexes an extra-special look or making special efforts to recruit people from those groups, but definite quotas have long been illegal.

And corporations just don't care. They have put their HR departments in charge and allowed them to overrule their lawyers.

They will be Made to Care, though.

'SEAL Team' scriptwriter sues CBS for denying him a staff job because he 'did not check the right boxes' and hiring rookie 'black LGBTQ women' instead, says $500,000 DEI suit
Brian Beneker couldn't get a staff job despite writing a well-liked season finale
Ex-Trump admin official Stephen Miller slammed CBS for 'corporate bigotry'

By James Reinl, Social Affairs Correspondent, For Dailymail.Com
A freelance writer for the hit show SEAL Team has sued CBS Studios for repeatedly denying him a staff job while instead hiring less-qualified black LGBTQ women and other 'diversity' recruits.

Literally ever black lesbian now has a job writing TV shows and comic books. As Ya Boi Zach says, even if black lesbians don't want these jobs, they force them to take them.

Are you a black lesbian with one side of her head shaved? I'm sorry, you'll have to come with me. You've been assigned to write Wolverine. Come with me, I will show you to your work cubicle. No, I'm afraid you're not allowed to refuse, it's the law that every black lesbian with the side of her head shaved be assigned to write comics for Marvel. Now stop complaining, and start browsing the Wikipedia entry for Wolverine.
No you don't have to study it; just get a general vibe. Wolverine is anything you think it is.

Brian Beneker says the studio and parent firm Paramount owe him $500,000 in lost wages because they overlooked him, a straight, white man, in a push to get minorities on the team.
It is the latest in a raft of lawsuits aimed at 'reverse racism' filed by America First Legal (AFL), a conservative action group headed by Stephen Miller, a former Trump administration advisor.
'CBS appears to have carried out an egregious scheme of flagrant discrimination against white and male employees in direct violation of federal civil rights law,' Miller said.
Miller slammed diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) targets as 'corporate bigotry' and said the case would help 'excise the poison of race discrimination from American workplaces.'
...
As a freelancer, he co-wrote scripts for four episodes of the show, including its season three finale 'No Choice in Duty.' He was praised for the quality of his work, court papers show.
Beneker asked several times for a staff writing job, but was told there was no space, and he was 'next in line,' it is claimed.
Still, CBS instead hired other writers in an apparent push to diversify the team.
They were all from minorities -- black writers, women, including a lesbian, who often had no relevant experience or writing credits.

...
Writers on prime-time shows were to be staffed '40 percent black, indigenous, and people of color' in the 2021-22 season and by half in the 2022-23 season, the case says.
AFL says a race-based hiring target is 'not only immoral, but it is illegal under federal law.'

Corporations are beginning to walk away from illegal DEI now that the lawsuits are coming.

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. has made a surprising change to its "Possibilities Summit" for Black college students: It's opened the program to White students.
At Bank of America Corp., certain internal programs that used to focus on women and minorities have been broadened to include everyone.
And at Bank of New York Mellon Corp., executives are being urged to reconsider hard metrics for workforce diversity. Lose them, lawyers have advised.

Yes, because they've always been illegal, and the death of the drug dealer and thug St. George Floyd did not repeal these laws.

This is what diversity, equity and inclusion looks like on Wall Street today: anxious, fraught -- and changing fast.
From C-suites down, American finance is quietly reassessing its promises to level the playing field. The growing conservative assault on DEI, coupled with pockets of resentment among White employees, have executives moving to head off accusations of reverse discrimination.

White "resentments" -- not white people objecting to plainly-illegal racial discrimination. And it's just "accusations of reverse discrimination," despite the clear fact that these policies are explicit and explicitly illegal.

So why the caveat? Because proponents of DEI say that "reverse discrimination" isn't real because it's impossible to invidiously discriminate against white people. Because white people aren't really people, and any discrimination against them is just Social Justice.

Welcome to Rhodesia.

It's not just Wall Street. In recent weeks, Zoom Video Communications Inc. cut its internal DEI team amid broader layoffs and Tesla Inc. removed language about minority workers from a regulatory filing.
The seemingly small changes -- lawyerly tweaks, executives call them -- are starting to add up to something big: the end of a watershed era for diversity in the US workplace, and the start of a new, uncertain one.
"We're past the peak," said Subha Barry, former head of diversity at Merrill Lynch.
Wall Street has long skewed White and male, as it still does. Even an inkling that banks are retreating from DEI has some women and minorities questioning how real promises of change were in the first place.
Publicly, executives insist they're as dedicated as ever. Goldman Sachs and other major US banks say they remain committed to attracting and promoting people from a range of backgrounds. Privately, however, many acknowledge that the high-profile campaign against DEI-- amplified by billionaires including Elon Musk and Bill Ackman -- threatens to set back what progress Wall Street has made.
...
It's a remarkable turn. Less than four years ago, amid lofty talk of a "racial reckoning" and an "inflection point" in the wake of George Floyd's 2020 murder, America's CEOs were vowing to embrace inclusive hiring, promote minorities and narrow the gender pay gap.

Sorry, you don't get to turn white people into serfs because a drug dealer tried to pass a counterfeit 20 dollar bill and then died due to the massive bolus of drugs he swallowed plus his 40+ years of bad living.

Even the woke oligarchs at Black Rock are getting nervous about their ESG agenda.

After significant efforts to embrace and enforce woke ESG -- environmental, social and governance -- policies on American companies, behemoth asset manager BlackRock has finally admitted what conservatives have warned: adopting and prioritizing the radical aims of ESG poses a significant risk of adverse effects to its bottom line and legal footing.
The revelation from BlackRock comes courtesy of a filing the company made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Lamenting that -- as a direct result of scrutiny and warnings from conservatives -- "BlackRock faces increasing focus from regulators, officials, clients and other stakeholders regarding ESG matters," the company said in the filing that it is "subject to competing demands from different stakeholder groups with divergent views on ESG-related matters, including in countries in which BlackRock operates and invests, as well as in states and localities where BlackRock serves public sector clients."
As Townhall has previously reported, state Republican officials have put BlackRock on notice and taken action to divest billions of dollars from BlackRock due to the company's prioritization of "de-carbonizing" the economy and forcing woke identity quotas for governing boards, among other inane leftist virtue signaling.
BlackRock continues in its filing to complain that some "US states and state officials have adopted or proposed legislation or otherwise have taken official positions restricting or prohibiting state government entities from doing certain business with entities identified by the state as "boycotting" or "discriminating" against particular industries or considering ESG factors in their investment processes and proxy voting," soon "[o]ther states and localities may adopt similar legislation or other ESG-related laws and positions that adversely impact BlackRock's business." That is, conservatives -- led by groups such as Consumers' Research helmed by Will Hild and state attorneys general across the country -- are winning.

More at Townhall.

8 Side point, but I'm always worried that liberals are going to force women and minorities to work multiple jobs. If every black lesbian has to work as a writer, then there will be fewer black lesbians in other professions. But any disparity is evil and must be fixed. The only solution is to have black lesbians work more jobs than other people. Force them to take extra jobs in construction, plumbing, etc. until they are equally represented.

9 I admit - I had my daughter apply to a (paid) science lab research program at school last semester that was obviously originally aimed at DEI pre-Youngkin election and policy setting at colleges (you just needed to read the acronym), but that she desperately needed for future career goals.

She got accepted, and is getting the benefit. I wanted to thank Youngkin personally b/c he was ahead of the curve getting this stuff opened up at colleges...when she applied, it was open to all. And I'm betting that was not the original plan when it was proposed.

11 It is clear that under both CA state law and federal a business cannot discriminate against employees or prospective employees based on their race or sex (or in CA, their sexual preference or perversion).

However, I can't think of a law that prohibits a CA business like a studio from refusing to contract with someone because of their race or sex. CA agencies do it routinely with their official preference for "minority and women-owned businesses."

Since that writer is looking for contract work and not employment, he may face an uphill legal battle.

20 What we're confronting now is the willful ignoring of black letter law that has gone on for the last 60 years. All the semantics about quotas, AA, and diversity are really just cover for the fact that whites have been systematically discriminated against since Nixon established AA. There is no squaring that circle, although SCOTUS has certainly tried. It's illegal. Period.

The Military has been discriminating against White Males for decades. In the Navy, to make Chief Petty Officer, you have to take a test, and then your records are sent to a 'Board' and they decide who gets promoted.

I was told by an Ex Commanding Officer, that there are three stacks of records in front of the board... Minorities, Women, and White Guys. They have a quota they will use to promote so many Women, and so many Minorities... problem is, that in my rate? Electronics Tech? by the time you got to the board 90% of the rate, was White Males. They would basically promote every Woman, and every Minority, who got to the board, to try to make the 'quota'. This has been going on since the Elder Bush...

___________________________________________

No, they are not. Simple question: When has the left every voluntarily walked away from an issue. The answer is Never. Corporations realized their mistake in making the DEI agenda (and subsequent staff) too high profile. In other words, they provided targets and clarity. They will NOW fix that mistake and rename the positions that propagate these illegal actions to sound innocuous. An example would be a position created in a legal department called Compliance Officer. And, the little fascist discriminators will continue to operate as if nothing has changed. This is how it works. They change the nomenclature to misdirect. Here, watch this. Illegal Alien...Illegal Immigrant...Undocumented immigrant...undocumented worker...undocumented migrant....to today's Migrant.

81 It is the latest in a raft of lawsuits aimed at 'reverse racism' filed by America First Legal (AFL), a conservative action group headed by Stephen Miller, a former Trump administration advisor.
++++
There is no such thing as "reverse racism," and this is a linguistic trick to put you on the defense and discredit your position.

In order for "reverse racism" to be thing, you must first accept the Postmodern premise that racism is a function of power and the Critical Theory premise that all power belongs to the white man. When you use both, you reach the conclusion that racism is, definitionally, white people with racial hatred toward non-white people (white people merely existing is racist, but that nuance can be set aside). Since racial hatred of white people by non-white people is by definition not racist, non-whites cannot, definitionally, be racist.

"Reverse racism" as a concept buys into this premise, whether it knows its doing that or not. By calling it "reverse," it acknowledges that the *natural* state of racism is white on non-white. Bullshit. Reject the premise. Reject their language. Racial hatred is racial hatred. Period. There is "reverse" form of it.

LOL. Sure, Jan.

I mean, this is all true, but it doesn't matter. Not yet. Capital is still cheap enough, and outfits like Blackrock big enough, to not care about it. Only three things could make them actually care:
1. Truly staggering, across-the-board losses that threaten the company
2. Sudden realization of an enormous liability overhang that will destroy their capital as a result of dealing with the litigation and settlements
3. Capital is simply too expensive to play games

None of the three conditions are met yet. Conditions two or three *may* be close, but they aren't here yet.

Blackrock isn't getting ready to retreat, it's getting ready to rebrand.
ESG might be out, but it will have a new name soon.

This has been a fixture of black nationalism for decades - the claim that the only reason why whites in the United States are affluent is because whites stole all the money from black people.

Doesn't explain Canada, or why areas of the United States with relatively few black people (like the Pacific Northwest) are just as affluent as the areas with a lot of black people.

153 Side point, but I'm always worried that liberals are going to force women and minorities to work multiple jobs. If every black lesbian has to work as a writer, then there will be fewer black lesbians in other professions. But any disparity is evil and must be fixed. The only solution is to have black lesbians work more jobs than other people. Force them to take extra jobs in construction, plumbing, etc. until they are equally represented.

159 131 But we're still dancing around the nasty, mean and ugly elephant in the room:
The Civil Rights Act was and is largely unconstitutional"

The part that I always felt was unconstitutional was the "pre-clearance" requirements for redistricting, etc, that only applied to some states but not others. But that part has now been tossed out by the Court, to much wailing and gnashing of teeth on the part of the Dems.

Everything else was allowed by this one little line in the 14th amendment: "The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article." That was totally open ended, gave Congress unlimited power over the States, and is the reason that the 14th is called the Amendment that Swallowed the Constitution. In effect, the entire pre-1865 constitution was rewritten by that one little line.

It's a little more sinister and strategic than that. The individuals that propagate this discriminating philosophy actually sought out positions to be able to make these type decisions. Human Resource director is an example of one such position. They then institute their little programs while fostering an autonomous relationship with the company in general. They flood their hiring with like minded souls...and pretty soon you have a company like Disney being top heavy with this type of thinking.

Every wonder how purple haired, heavily pierced, dimwits end up in teaching positions? You and I wouldn't hire them based on appearance alone. But, the school districts now have (initially covert, now overt) these type individuals driving their hiring practices. All you need is a superintendent with the same ideas.

224 I wonder if they're not accidentally admitting / acknowledging something there. Something like “we didn't really need these employees but we were forced to hire them and honestly probably three or four of their jobs could be performed by one white dude making 25% more per year. “

No it means you fire the ones doing work and hire more wokesters to play all day every day.

226 In more good economic news, non-citizens snagged 1.2 million jobs in February.

Mathematically, all job creation in the past 5 years has been taken by foreign born, either H1B or illegal.

Native born American job growth has not increased since 2018.

227 Twitter fired a few thousand employees. Twitter still works the same as it did with those employees. Which shows those employees - mainly women - were dead weight.

It was even worse than them just being deadwood; (and I know you're aware of this, but it bears repeating) - almost all of this extra employees were hired to scout twitter every day, looking for non-woke posts to ban and suspiciously conservative posters to silence. It was a vast censorship scheme, which is why the Left is still so upset with Musk for blowing it up.

241 If I were CBS' in-house counsel that's the argument I'd make.

"Prove it. Prove that this was discrimination. Has anyone in this courtroom ever actually viewed one of my network's programs? No? Of course you haven't, because they're all unwatchable. It's pure garbage. You'd all be blind and deaf if you sat through one. It's clinically proven that your body will attack its own sensory organs to protect itself from CBS programming.

There's literally no way to prove this dusky, half-haired lesbo is worse than that sissy white faggot over there. They're both tards."

Oh yeah, big time, my company uses AI to comb over expense reports, we use AI to take meeting notes, they are in the testing phase to have AI handle writing all of the scopes of work and legal analysis.

The big problem with AI is that it's a paradigm shifting technology that actually shrinks the economy rather than growing it.

243 L-o-freaking-l. Our DEI chief was let go in October, but it wasn't announced until 12/31/23. The memo said she was taking a leave of absence to get some personal time. Then she was to join Harvard's Management Leadership Certificate Program this spring as a cohort participant. After she finishes the program, it was said, she will return to a leadership role at some point in the future. And no replacement has been named yet! What a way to say she was laid off. And I bet strings were pulled to get her in that certificate program. Wow, you love to see it.

244 Make no mistake, this garbage has also hurt the work product. Wall Street has hired the best and brightest for a long time. They never gave a shit what you looked like. They also became very good at predicting who would do well. They had a formula, stuck to it and adjusted as needed. It was a proven winner. If You don't win deals, you don't eat. Heck, we used to kick people off a deal if they showed up late, never mind an inferior work product. Pretty soon your actual purpose as a corporation takes a hit. Then shit like DEI goes out the window.

248 I'm so sick of the term stakeholder.
It's used by the C-Suite types much more often than shareholder is, and the reason is that you the shareholder are a captured customer.

There's no such thing as a pension unless you're a government worker, so everyone is funding their 401's and IRAs as much as they can and many companies limit which funds will qualify for their company match.
These large funds now know the money will come in regardless, and now dismiss the idea of losing your money to a more competitive fund, allowing them to pursue more noble goals like fucking up society with pie in the sky shit that never works.

Maybe if the shareholders actually showed up at the quarterly or yearly meetings with stakes...then they'd listen

A federal judge in Texas has ordered a 55-year-old U.S. agency that caters to minority-owned businesses to serve people regardless of race, siding with white business owners who claimed the program discriminated against them.

Humans, and other animals, have two sexes. "Gender" is a term of art in grammar, and there are three: masculine, feminine, and neuter.

This could be a problem with my web browser because I've had this happen previously.
