Does American Idol voting reflect American racism?

14. what is the the american idol singing competition really about?

does anyone know?, it should not come into it when the judges are judging the american idol contestants, look at the judging panel, they have a mix of different judges, the show is meant to be about singing talent, so in a way they are about being judgemental, but it is just meant to be judging on how good of a singer they are.

though they do also go on appearance and how people look it would seem, because when it gets down to who is getting through the auditions and into the live shows and finals, they are usually quite good looking, so it does look like there is some judging going on on how people look and other things, not just how good there singing is.

can probably find some things statistically, but just by what the show is do they say that they are "fair" judges or are they biased talent judges.
