Men sue ABC for Racial Discrimination

The Bachelor has been on TV for 10 years and only now two individuals have brought suit against ABC.  The two men,Nathaniel Claybrooks and Christopher Johnson, claim "producers intentionally exclude "people of color" from lead roles on the popular shows".  In the beginning, the lead roles were filled by individuals who had never been on the show before as a contestant or lead role.  But, as the  show went on, producers began to cast inidividuals who have been involved in the show before.  I believe this has been done because the producers believe re-casting individuals will keep watching the show and ratings will stay the same.
Claybrooks and Johnson have not cited any reason to support their law suit except that producers gave them barely any attention compared to other men who showed up to the casting call.  Therefore, the men may not have any claim for racial discrimination.  Producers may already know who they have in mind for the roles and have the casting calls to find just a few more people or quickly pick out people who they believe will capture the tv audience.
