Super Bowl fans whine over Kendrick Lamar's halftime show and 'DEI'
www.irishstar.com
X users are calling out Kendrick Lamar's halftime show performance for not having one white performer on stage with some saying it's the worst halftime show they've ever seen.

Lamar filled the stage with performers, but none of them seemed to be white. While most may not even have noticed, some particularly upset users took to X to express their frustration.

“There’s no diversity in the half time show. DEI only goes one direction and this horrible halftime show perfectly represents why DEI needs to die,” a user wrote.

    Was never an issue when ya’ll were pouring acid to get us out of the pool. Or when we couldn’t go to “white only” businesses. Or schools.

    A white performer can have an entire stage of nothing but white dancers and they wouldn’t say boo, but the black performer does the same, suddenly they see it as unfair. 🙄

      @2ugly2live @ByteOnBikes Yep! I think a big part of this is the visually organized aspect of it. It touches something deep in observers. Historically, choreography was related to military training. I think that racially uncomfortable people feel subconsciously threatened by large, well-organized performances by non-whites. I know that may sound dumb, but I really believe it.

      The Superbowl has had such displays by all-white groups for many years, and who’s heard any noise about that?
