Warner Bros. is accused in lawsuit of “systematically” removing Asian Americans from leadership roles in one of its divisions. - NBCAsianAmerica

Fans and staff of Dramafever celebrate at their 5 year anniversary party at Toshi's Living Room in New York on Oct. 9, 2014.A former executive at a division of Warner Bros. is suing the company over allegations that it recently terminated all of its Asian-American executives who worked for a since-shuttered streaming-video service while keeping all of its white executives.

The alleged discriminatory behavior began immediately after the acquisition in 2016, the lawsuit contends. All of this was concerning and “at least hypocritical in part” since Warner Bros.’ CEO is Kevin Tsujihara, who is Japanese American, the suit notes. Hirsch later allegedly stripped Chang of some of his responsibilities, saying she wanted to “revisit everything” after taking over, and began excluding him from meetings that involved personnel decisions, court papers assert.
