It’s All Relative

In reading the comments over at Buzzmachine regarding Elton John’s charge that American Idol is racist, I came across these observations from hen:

Let’s see, last year a big fat black dude won, the year before the runner up was a bi-racial kid, and this year (what?) three of the remaining 6 kids are not white, but no it’s “racist”.
Laughable and stupid, but i guess Sir Elton has a CD to plug or something and he needs the press.

In Sir Elton’s world, Eminem is neither a misogynist or homophobic, and AI is racist. Someone see if he hit his head on his piano.

Right on the money, hen.
