I found it interesting that one guy lost because he was not versed in
Jazz and incorrectly identified Ella Fitzgerald as "lady day",
when it could have been obvious that Billie Holiday would be a better
choice. One guy did not even know that BB King named his guitar
lucille.
It seems that blacks and other minorities do not do well on these shows.
Tha same could be said for Jeopardy and other knowledge based shows.
It could be that some of the items are geared towards non-minorities.
