I think it's a silly claim really.
Look at reality shows in general, it's not just Strictly. There are usually less black people than white people on shows, so that puts the odds in a "white" persons favour. Now if every series of every reality show had, I don't know, 14 black contestants and 2 white contestants, and the white contestants always won, then, yes I'd agree with it being racist. But you can't pull out a card everytime someone goes home. Are we all xenophobic to Spanish, Italian, French, Albanian, Turkish people too considering they don't win many UK reality shows?
