I'm not saying Conor is racist, but it's possible he grew up with no exposure to Indian culture and therefore has an aversion of sorts.

And it's not just that he doesn't like Deana, it's the aggressive comments he's made about her that make people question what is going on in his head.

It could be anything, though. Why does everything have to be directed to race?

Because unfortunately racism is still alive all over the world, and it's not out of the question to wonder. I don't think anyone here is outright calling Conor a racist, i'm not at least. But as I said, given the fact that his friends and family and fans from Derry have been posting racist things, it's not out of the question that Conor may have a similar mindset.

But ... other types of bullying.

Racial discrimination isn't the only sort of 'alive' discrimination in the world - others are.

My question remains - what about the other sorts of discrimination we have today?

Of course not, which is why I mentioned the transphobic, violent, and homophobic comments that were also made on the page in my above post

You're only assuming that people only want Deana to win because she's been targeted by Conor. But you're wrong. Ask any Deana fan on here. People love her because she has class, she's funny, she's confident, she's not afraid to speak her mind and defend herself.
