Mixed race.
I think the OP make a point worth discussing. Black contestants (not mixed race) don't get very far in UK phone votes. That's a fact.
Alexandra Burke? (X factor)
Colin Jackson? (Strictly)
Alesha Dixon? (Strictly)
Diversity? (BGT)

To have a healthy debate, the originator has to come up with a coherent, well thought-out argument with credible evidence to back your original point in order for a counterpoint to be made.

Dixon is mixed race. And so are most of Diversity.
Jackson crashed out early, despite being really good. Funny that...
I think the OP is thinking more along the lines of "really black", like Linford Christie (1993 winner), or maybe black with really fuzzy hair like Daley Thompson (1982 winner).
Ha. They're are certainly some black stars which the mass British public takes to heart (Lenny Henry/New Faces).

Certainly looks that way :-(
Oh, and who is odds on to win Strictly Come Dancing 2012? That'll be Louis Smith (black).
No - he's not black enough. All us inherent racists only discriminate against REALLY dark types.
Is there some kind of Dulux colour chart we can use to determine how racist we are?
Yeah, and I'm not sure Daley Thompson is really that black; we're quite happy with them coffee-coloureds that have got a dash of honkey in themNo - he's not black enough. All us inherent racists only discriminate against REALLY dark types.
Well the thread got the replies I thought it would.
For 2013 nothing would be better than Andy Murray winning Wimbledon. But he is not Mr popular in the Uk. Yet he finished 3rd.
If you travel around the UK attitudes are different from Brighton.
Or is it just foreign footballers and some football supporters that are racist in the UK?
As I said before I think it is a subtle thing. Not rampant racism.
