Pro sports are racist! Most athletes are people of color and white folk are in the minority. As for Idol, maybe they should just have this as first question on the application: Are you White? If the answer is yes, you’re automatically disqualified. That will make the racist whiners happy.
Didn’t Donald Driver, black receiver for the Green Bay Packers, just win Dancing With The Stars ?
I’m sure that the same people that watch Dancing With The Stars also watch American Idol ?
There is obviously a bias for athletes. Half of the winners of Dancing With the Stars have been athletes - 7 out of 14.
