Does American Idol voting reflect American racism?

5. Jessica was in the bottom because her song

was something the audience didn't know. All of the final 7 are really, really good.
I also think that there was a backlash toward the judges about Hollie ( the British girl ) The judges were really harsh with her. From my readings around the net and on other sites ( including my own site about reality tv) a lot of folks were irritated at the way Hollie was judged.
Of course the cute boys always have an advantage because of the demographics of the voters. It sucks.
However, it's American Idol and the voters want someone who fits that category.
