After Paige Miles getting the boot last week on American Idol we are left with the top ten. Except for Big Mike and Andrew Garcia the top ten are all white. Also the judges are nearly all white except for Big Dog Randy Jackson. Does this mean American Idol is trying to become all white and are just scared to confront the big black man. I guess we will find out soon.
Hmm, well according to the the 2008 US Census only 12.4% of the population is Black or African American. From a purely statistically point of view 1 out of 10 is representative. However, Hispanic or Latino ethnicity accounted for 15.4% so they should be represented by 1.5 contestants but I think we all know that's not possible.
