"Good job at being racist and homophobic, American Idol." Those aren't my words, but they're the sentiments of plenty of fans after Sunday night's Disney-themed episode.

After last night's votes were tallied, four of the show's minority contestants found themselves in elimination contention. Ada Vox, a drag queen, Jurnee, an openly gay and black contestant, Michelle Sussett, an immigrant from Venezuela, and Dennis Lorenzo, an African-American male, received the least votes after their performances. Jurnee was the only one to escape elimination.

These four contestants were in the bottom because this is "Trump's America," according to some upset viewers.

Hi Jonny!
Didn’t see your response til just now - thanks.
Really liked the Disney night - so did our 4 yr old granddaughter. She loves all the princesses, of course.

You might appreciate a comment made by a friend of our daughter after his little girl visited a Sunday School recently.
Her daddy asked, “What did you learn?”
She said, “we learned about God and his friend, Cheez-Its!”

Wins what? LOL! So, not sure what the “racio” is of wgwg winning and an AA winning over the life of the show. Then again, we stopped watching a long time ago. Quit the voice a long time ago as well. Auditons carried out over (supposedly) weeks and weeks. Funny thing, guess the network thought some folks wouldn’t notice the judges had on the same outfits for all those “weeks”. Phony-ness. But somebody is making money and that’s what it’s about.
