Disney Sued for Illegal Discrimination in Casting Rules that Mandate 50 Percent of Characters Must Come From ‘Underrepresented Groups’

The Walt Disney Company is being sued by America First Legal, the conservative legal group led by President Trump’s longtime adviser Stephen Miller, for illegally discriminating on the basis of race and sex in its casting decisions as well as in its internal company practices.

The group obtained internal company documents outlining Disney’s “inclusion standards,” which appear to impose racial quotas for its on screen characters, mandating that 50 percent of regular and recurring characters and actors must come from “Underrepresented Groups.”
