Write & post a response to the following scenario:

Two African American plaintiffs sued the producers of the reality television series The Bachelor and The Bachelorette for racial discrimination. The plaintiffs claimed that the shows had never featured a person of color in the lead roles. Plaintiffs also alleged that the producers had failed to provide people of color who auditioned for lead roles with the same opportunities to compete as white people who auditioned.

Can the plaintiffs establish a prima facie case of disparate-treatment discrimination?

What will the plaintiffs have to show to establish disparate-impact discrimination?

Assuming that the plaintiffs establish a prima facie case and the burden has shifted to the employer to articulate a legal reason for not hiring the plaintiffs.

What legitimate reasons might the employer assert for not hiring the plaintiffs in this situation?

Should the law require television producers to hire persons of color for lead roles in reality television shows?

Explain your answers please.
