A script coordinator for "Seal Team," backed by a conservative group founded by former Trump adviser Stephen Miller, has sued CBS Studios and its parent company, Paramount. Brian Beneker alleges that he was repeatedly denied a staff writer job after the implementation of an "illegal policy of race and sex balancing" that he says discriminates against straight white men. The Hollywood Reporter's Winston Cho says this could be the "opening legal salvo against efforts to boost diversity and inclusion in Hollywood in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision knocking down affirmative action."
