Yes, the forums don't matter, but even after Kendra won last season, the media made a big spectacle about a woman winning, when will a "person of color" win... Again, it's not my preference, but what I described is what I think happened. The people in Hollywood and NY are keenly aware of race. After all, commericials are always ethnically diverse, which does not reflect most people's reality. (I'm not saying it's wrong, just not accurate for a majority).
