The Next Food Network Star Season Finale
Annien, it is sad that you lowered yourself to name calling. You again affirmed (pun intended) that race was a deciding factor. As I stated before, the agenda at Food Network in its recent new shows has been African American and Latino. Offering a variety of shows and cuisines is a good thing, but awarding any job, show, etc. because of one's race is sad. I guess in your "New York state of mind", that makes me a bigot. You should visit "fly over country" some time.

Annie, your comment "it needed to catch up" confirmed my thought about "affirmative action". (Notice how I put it in quotes this time). You live in New York and share the same mindset of Susie and Bob. Aaron won because of his race and not because of his ability. That is sad. It is clear that Food Network is using "set asides" now and people should be hired for ability. In case you did not notice, Aaron lacks "stage presence" compared to the other finalists and his race has nothing to do with it. As I recall, the judges did say something about Adam being comfortable with the camera. Based on that comment, I thought he should have won.

It is obvious that from the beginning Susie and Bob wanted an African American to win this contest. This time viewers did not vote for the final winner. Also, if you look at recent new shows, the hosts are either African American of Latino. I guess Food Network is awarding new shows solely on affirmative action. This is sad. Bobby Flay had to support what Susie and Bob wanted because they are ultimately his boss. I hope everyone recalls Susie's comment in one of the shows "Our friend Aaron". Once I heard that comment, I knew he would win regardless of the performances of the other finalists. Bottom line, affirmative action wins and the viewers lose.

Annien, what I am trying to say is that if those of us in "fly over country" don't see it the "New York way", we are "aliens" or according to you, I am a bigot. I don't practice affirmative action at my business. I hire the most qualified for the jobs. For your "New York mind" information, yes I employ minorities....not because they are minorities but because they were the best candidates for the job. As I said before (and you agreed), Aaron won the contest partly due to his race and I repeat....that is sad. If this were 1968, I agree that race should be a factor, but this is 2008!!!!
