The author didn't get their facts wrong, they said there were no black acts in the final stages of three of those series, i.e. the last couple of weeks of the show. This is such a piece of nonsense; the X Factor is about positive, not negative, voting and people vote for the performers they like the most. If somebody were to make a case for the underrepresentation of Asian people then that would be far more compelling to read because there would be some truth to that; black people are more than well represented in the UK X Factor.
