I love the network, but what I don't love is the racism on it. I've been watching Food Network since I was a kid and have always loved it but as I've gotten older I realized that the network is definitely racist. I've seen black people be chopped or eliminated after getting less criticism for their dishes than other contestants who happen to be white. Season 44 episode 1 so to speak Chef "Boots" was chopped in the first round for his peanut butter smear being to sweet and dish needing acid but two other contestants critique was that they couldn't taste a basket ingredient at all, but yet Chef "Boots" was chopped. I've been feeling this way for years and just never spoke up about it but my son shouldn't have to keep asking me why does black people always get eliminated first or make it to the end and still doesn't win with little criticism. I hope this message gets to someone who can make a change or will it just go unnoticed. Or does someone have to say the "N" word like Paula Deen (whom I USED to love) for something to be done. Come on Food Network please tell me y'all aren't racist.
