What does the public have against black people?
OP,
Let me shock this by suggesting the public may be ANTI-RACIST in ways they have voted in the past.
What?
How?
A number of TiBB have (for many seasons) pointed out what 'appears' to be a sort of 'racism' in casting.
This is the complaint that some BB casting seems to believe that a person becomes 'different' and 'interesting' and even 'automatically intriguing' simply because they have black skin!
They are wrong,
but,
The problem is that sometimes a disproportionate number of dull, uninteresting, dark-skinned people get cast.
(and they can't be blamed for this either).

Some argue that what happens is that the public is actually the colour-blind one in this,
and,
if anything some argue they even 'fight back' by making a special point to vote out that person.

Now whether or not there is 'anti-racism' in most of this maybe that is arguable,
but,
in fact the public does show it will NOT acknowledge skin-tone after all nor will it play along with the idea dark-skin = interesting and cool HM.

Just throwing this out there for a different angle to think about.
