Interesting Popjustice hint question; are we racists? 17 Years, 6 Months ago  
The two bottom votes in X Factor were for blacks.

Mind you - all the contenders were equally musically ghastly. But are viewers anti black?

Since the black girl who slaughtered Dancing Queen totally out of tune remains in, I suggest the answer may be "no".

I am personally not anythingist, although "Xfactorist" is a great possibilty of my personal being becoming prejudiced.
I didn`t see anything as a racist thing, I just was appalled by actually watching a whole episode.
Karaoke for the masses.

On balance I think yes we are. We being the majority.

It's quite easy to whip up a crowd using racism and turn them into a mob is only slightly harder.

If it applies in the X Factor case I do not know. Unless the two dropped were evidently deserving to go through to the next round I feel it's coincidence that both are black.

It is a point worth making/discussing because otherwise we can slip into regrettable attitudes all too easilly.
