Oh, and they are clever about it. They don’t call it stone cold racism, which it most certainly is. Instead it’s a “diversity program“, or some such thing.
As the old saying goes…

CBS and parent Paramount Global are being accused of “blatant” discrimination against a white, heterosexual male freelance writer as it imposed stringent diversity rules for writers on its “SEAL Team” series, according to a federal lawsuit.
Brian Beneker, a script coordinator and freelance scriptwriter for CBS’ “SEAL Team,” was unlawfully denied a staff writer position due to his race, sex and sexual orientation, according to the complaint, filed Thursday in US District Court of Central California.
Beneker, who became the script coordinator in 2017 on the pilot episode of “SEAL Team,” a drama about the pressure on a group of Navy SEALs, soon was offered to write an episode script as a freelancer for the show’s second season.
To continue as a scriptwriter, Beneker was told, he had to quit his job as a coordinator, the suit said, noting that he was replaced by “a woman without any experience as a script coordinator” who “struggled to do the job” and “quit approximately two weeks into training.”
Beneker’s lawyers from America First Legal Foundation and JW Howard Attorneys cited a widely reported mandate from CBS chief executive George Cheeks to “set a goal that all writers’ rooms on the network’s primetime series be staffed 40% [with] BIPOC [black, indigenous and people of color] in the 2021-2022 season.”
CBS raised the requirement to 50% BIPOC writers in the 2022-2023 season of TV, and a requirement of 50% of cast members on their reality shows to be BIPOC, court papers said, noting that the hiring policies are shared across Paramount Global.

Well now that makes sense for liberals. Lets have people who know nothing about the Seals (a group that is the antithesis to diversity, DEI etc) write stories about them while knowing nothing about them or the fact that the group’s success is based on qualification and accomplishment which diversity and DEI ignore.
The reason white male execs punish white male underlings: They don’t want the purge to reach them.
Which explains why hollywood is producing even more, and worse, garbage than ever before.
You can tell survivor is following that POC of 50 percent. This season which started on Wednesday was enjoyable but I think had 80 percent POC.
“Put a chick in it, and make her gay!”
Who watches network TV anymore? I probably haven’t watched anything on those networks, outside of sports, in the past 30 years.
Network TV ads are also bias against whites , with blacks pretending to be white ,LOL
Anti-Black racism bad, anti-White racism good.
Hollywood has effectively been longhoused. We’ve now got crappy writing, lame stories, and ugly actresses to look forward to.
I have no idea what "new" TV shows or movies are out there.
Go woke, go broke.
They failed to meet the quota for effeminate and cross dressing categories of SEAL characters. Unacceptable!
Apparently minorities, homosexuals, and people with erectile dysfunction or mesothelioma are the only ones who still watch network television according to the television producers, executives, and advertisers.
If you’ve ever read my Tagline, you know I’m not surprised that CBS is biased.
Fake programming to go along with fake news from SeeBS
Every SEAL, PJ, and CCT I have ever met were white.
