Racist?

Why do the producers go out of their way to show the blond white kid,the hispanic kid,the black kid in each episode? True anti racism is plucking five kids at random from an audition without noting their colour.Maybe we can say that it's a no win situation for the producers but this diversity is a little clumsy!

It's not racism you idiot. It the poison that has a grip on society that is called political correctness.

Exactly.....political correctness highlights race thus being racist.Children are children whatever their colour.

Um, no. Racism implies one race is genetically superior to the other.

I actually think this was pre-political correctness. Back when everyone was just considered a human. I think in this situation they were just doing it for the kids, not their parents.
