I share your opinion of Allen, and of course it’s possible this is purely a business decision. But that seems like the wrong question at this point. The court did not find that there was bias, only that both the applicable law and the facts justify that the question be litigated in court.
Also - the point that always seems to need to be made, if it were true that the only mediocre material given exposure was produced by white people, whole black people need to produce excellent material to get on, that would be discrimination. So even when this gets to court, the question is not really “is Allen’s product mediocre?”, but more like, is it significantly more mediocre than material that routinely does get a tv contract?
