A federal judge on Oct. 15, 2012 dismissed a lawsuit filed by Johnson and Claybrooks, who claimed “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette” discriminated against persons of color by failing to select non-whites for central roles in the popular ABC series. The judge ruled that casting decisions are protected by the First Amendment. ( AP Photo/Mark Humphrey, File)
