X Factor 2011 and prejudice

I haven't been able to watch the X Factor as closely this year as I have better things to do with my time but I managed to switch on tonight only to see how the bitter and twisted Louise Walsh handled his obvious dislike of Sophie Habibis a girl who has more talent in her little finger than he has in his entire body.

Anyway to cut a short story long Walsh has been throwing negative comments aimed at undermining Sophie's confidence and turning the public against this brave and talented girl comparing her to a Secretary who decided to take up singing which makes him look like a donkey who changed his name into Red Rum.

I have said this before and will say it again but those who come from 'smaller minority groups' in British society often find themselves at the end of prejudice which is more often than not subtle but more sinister. The powerful minority are not too worried about picking on someone who comes from a background like Sophie does. I am not surprised that Sophie was send away given that she had to compete with the very talented Misha but the process that created the situation where we were at tonight was one that was engineered by the talentless Walsh.

I could see the difficult position that Tulisa, who comes from the same ethnic background as Sophie, was put in tonight given that if she had send Misha away everyone would have said it was for personal reasons. I am critical of the nasty, personal and negative comments made by Walsh and Barlow, at least G Barlow has a talent but no idea how Walsh thinks.. shame we can't have an investigation into judges prejudices...
