Danny and Roy (Adore and Bianca) are both latino. Danny is Mexican-American, Roy is Cuban/Honduran-American. Then we have Trinity... not exactly sure of her heritage, but I think it's safe to say she's African-American. That's 1/3 of the queens who are left.

Now, let's see how many non-Hispanic White contestants have been in the top 3 of each season.

Season 1: Bebe Zahara Benet, Nina Flowers, Rebecca Glasscock: 0

Season 2: Jujubee, Raven, Tyra Sanchez: 1

Season 3: Alexis Mateo, Raja, Manila Luzon: 0

Season 4: Sharon Needles, Chad Michaels, Phi Phi O'Hara: 2

Season 5: Alaska Thunderfuck, Jinkx Monsoon, Roxxxy Andrews: 2

Season 6: TBD but rumors are, both Bianca and Adore make top 3, and Trinity is eliminated in top 8, so that leaves us with one non-Hispanic White contestant to fill the third spot

5 out of 15 contestants making the top 3 of seasons 1-5 are non-Hispanic White.

I think it's safe to say Rupaul isn't really trying to crown a White Queen over the rest.

Manila has expressed her frustration at a lack of positive Asian role models in the media and that is totally valid but what I'm concerned about is the possibility that Manila actually thought Gia was going to be Americas next drag superstar.

[–]Rawrzimon 3ポイント4ポイント  (10子コメント)

This issue kind of came up with Dallas Buyers Club (un-drag related. . . well. . .sort of). People got mad that they didn't cast a transexual as the part that Jared Leto won an Oscar for. But it's one of those things, just because a person could be transexual does not mean that they would fit that role completely or be a great actor. Here: Just because a person is ethnic or white does not mean that they are a great drag queen.

    I think people sort of underestimate Leto's appreciation of gender-play, as it's not really something brand new to him. I'm not saying he is perfect for the part or would do it better than other trans, or that it makes him qualified to be drag. I'm only saying he's not a normal actor and that a role like this is something he would do and not just any role.

    no, its been shown that trans people werent even considered for casting the position. I don't understand why people are mad at jared leto, hes an actor who took a job. He even studied under a trans* person to learn the role. I havent watched the movie but he comes across as someone who treated the role with respect more then other actors may have.

    [–]smariiKatya Zamolodchikova 4ポイント5ポイント  (2子コメント)

    Of course I'm not mad at Jared Leto, he's a fantastic actor. The problem is that Hollywood refuses to cast trans people even when the part is of a trans person.

Maybe next season there will be 5 black girls, 3 Latinas, 3 Asians, 1 Indian girl, and the rest can be big girls. And one white girl who "thinks outside the box" LOL"

    [–]TinTimJY 27ポイント28ポイント  (5子コメント)

    I kind of see it, it's a pretty heavily white cast this year. It's gotta be a challenge to balance all the diversities in the casting process -- region, style of drag, levels of experience, personalities, etc.

    [–]gardenofcucumbersMannimarco for Marco Marco 8ポイント9ポイント  (4子コメント)

    Adore and Bianca should do well. I guess their heritage probably won't be given focus and it's weird that given the herstory of drag and queens of color, we still have very white-casts.

    [–]badgerspriteWhat Did I Do That Was Un-Christian? 18ポイント19ポイント  (3子コメント)

    The cast has certainly gotten whiter from about S4 onwards. That much is fact.

    One thing I have actually wondered about is whether there's too much of a disconnect between drag race and the ball circuit. If that's the case, that does lead to the exclusion of a lot of black drag artists.

    I mean, the only ball contender we've really had on the show is Mariah, and she fits way more into the conventional RPDR drag queen mold than a lot of people in the ball circuit that I've seen. But my understanding of all of that is pretty limited, so I'd be interested to hear someone who knows more speak on that.

    This is what I've been thinking about. I mean, if I look at the queens who try out at pageants, the majority of them are white. So you have different demographics in the various forms of drag, not to mention different demographics when it comes to who can afford to compete on RPDR (make a decent-quality audition tape, be away from work for weeks, afford tons of costumes, fit in to the aesthetic the judges want, and so forth).

    [–]badgerspriteWhat Did I Do That Was Un-Christian? 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Yeah, this is exactly what I was wondering.

    I would be surprised if things like this didn't have an effect on casting.

    [–]gardenofcucumbersMannimarco for Marco Marco 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

    I've heard that the ball-crowd doesn't do drag to make money like the RPDR queens and they didn't like the edit/treatment of Mariah.

    Even if we never see another ball-queen, there's a lot of diversity in the bigger-drag cities that hasn't been tapped. It's sad that all we've seen of SF is Honey Mahogany.

    [–]LHarkinsannoying rotten cunt. 18ポイント19ポイント  (4子コメント)

    There's no reason to be disappointed though. Regardless of race "counts", we got a great mix of drag styles this year and that's all I personally care about.

    I doubt Manila is PC/stupid enough to actually be annoyed by this, so I really don't get her view point.

    Also everyone who has gone home, has gone home for a very clear reason, not for whatever faux-racism she is insinuating

    [–]gardenofcucumbersMannimarco for Marco Marco 20ポイント21ポイント  (3子コメント)

    Yeah, I totally don't agree that race determines if they go home. But I do wish we'd have more queens casted that break type like having more African American queens that aren't pageant who aren't Milan (and could make top 3).

    It's funny that two white queens were the first to go home and she made this comment.

    I think Manila knows that Bianca is Latina, but is trying a joke without selling it/much delivery. I think the point is that Bianca's heritage isn't being said by the show and maybe some viewers assume she's white?

      The show has a problem with addressing mixed queens or non-Puerto Rican latina queens. It would be interesting to see some heritage-themed challenges like the cake-one with Stacey?

      They might address it with Adore - her few Spanish words haven't been edited out (but that's sad that's all we have).

      She is Native American she said and I presume she also has African American heritage too or else the skin darkening might have been seen as a bit off putting.

      [–]Rococo89 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

      Not sure if it's an actual effort in regards to editing. Hispanic/Latino is an ethnicity, not really a racial construct, which is why I think a lot of these Latin queens have been able to blend into the black and white checkerboard pretty seamlessly. Not a lot of people knew that both Coco Montrese and Roxxxy Andrews were Hispanic (s 5), or Delta (s 4). Not really sure many would have known Lyneysha was Puerto Rican had she not had an accent.

      [–]AxanaWalking Children in Nature 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

      Do Adore and Bianca want to play up their heritage for the cameras? How much of it is editing, and how much of it is Adore and Bianca not talking about it much in their confessionals?

      I think Adore is Latino, Native American, and White.

      [–]Rococo89 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

      Well, most latinos ARE Native American (and I'm talking about the continent here, not the US; in this instance, it would be Mexican indigenous) and White. It's called mestizo.

      [–]Cocotapioka 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

      I've noticed that too. Roxxxy and Delta (IIRC) were both Latina as well. I think there was a point where you could see Roxxxy talking to somebody in Spanish. And so while I wouldn't outright say they don't count as Latin queens because they don't get the Charo edit, I can see why that's a gray area in terms of representation since the erasure you mention...they're kind of 'coded white' by deliberately glossing over their ethnic heritage. They're like the Rashida Jones of Drag Queens.

      Yeah, I remember the comments on the blogs around S3 and S4, they were insistent that RuPaul would never crown a white winner and that white queens should just not bother going on the show. It was ironic that the first white winner would be Sharon Needles, and all the race drama that she drags around...

      I think there's a conversation to be had about race and drag, but the way Manila came into it was just cray cray. I think she has been feeling some kind of way about the later seasons and how the asian queens have been representing, and she got drunk at a viewing party and is just ranting drunk. Maybe she can claim someone hacked her facebook page?

      I'm definitely underwhelmed by the asian queens after S3, I mean, S1-3 the asian queens were the fiercest queens on the show, Ongina, Jujubee, Manila herself and Raja, they're all in the Drag Race hall of fame, then we see Jiggly, Phi Phi, Vivienne and Gia, like gurrrls, study up on your forebears, try to bring it as well as they did.

      [–]badgerspriteWhat Did I Do That Was Un-Christian? 8ポイント9ポイント  (3子コメント)

      I suppose. Ru certainly isn't the most racially sensitive person in the world.

      I guess I was just thinking in terms of the irony that people have gone from saying, "Ru only lets black people win because black favouritism," to "Ru is filling the cast with white people so only white people can win because racism."

      [–]hamoboyPaleho did nothing wrong! 21ポイント22ポイント  (2子コメント)

      I wouldn't say Ru is anti-black/minority or anything, but there are literally thousands of black queens working in the USA, surely they can find more than one or two token black queens? And sometimes the fanbase makes it obvious they are extremely white, like when people came for Coco last season for not knowing who Little Edie was, and wanting to revoke her gay card, I was like, hunties, that's white gay culture, Coco comes from a different set of references. And people bitching about Tyra and Trinity loving Beyonce. Beyonce is huge with young black women and gay men, it is what it is, appreciate a different set of references.

      [–]badgerspriteWhat Did I Do That Was Un-Christian? 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

      I absolutely agree with all of this. And I do think the show has gotten less diverse from about season four onwards, since before then they had very diverse casts, and I would like to see a swing back in that direction.

      I just find it funny that a show that made such a concerted effort to be diverse in its first few seasons (to the point where white people complained that it was anti-white) is now being accused of racism. I really don't get the impression that the people at WOW are looking at the audition tapes saying shit like, "Oh, no, we can't have this queen be on our season because we already have a black girl/Asian girl/Latin girl on our cast."

      And I would tell you if I thought that was happening, because I know it really does happen IRL.

      I think this is a great point. Whenever a queen misses a reference, it is treated as a huge deal, but I think the importance of cultural-specific references is huge. I think the same could be said for Gia.

      Trinity is certainly not that. She just shows her charisma in different ways, she's not vamping around the workroom like Lasagna, or throwing shade left and right like Bianca, but she definitely has charisma. She couldn't have delivered that lipsync that sent April packing and this subreddit crying if it she didn't have it. She was never really bad at the acting and singing challenges, she just thought she was. Try watching the performances without watching the parts of the episode after the mini challenge. It's surprising how the prep time footage and story lines can affect your perception of queens' performances.

The Shangela thing was a different animal - IIRC, Shangela didn't question Manila's ethnic background, she questioned if it was kosher for her to use particular Asian stereotypes, even as an Asian person, when she wasn't that specific ethnicity (she was using a stereotypical Chinese accent she's Filipino, IIRC).

      didn't she say soething like "She's not even Asian!" though?

      [–]Cocotapioka 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

      I'd have to watch again, but I distinctly recall it being about the fact that Manila was not Chinese, not that Manila wasn't Asian. It makes a bit more sense that way, because Raja defended Manila by saying they were all (meaning she and Manila) subject to the same Asian slurs regardless of their actual ethnicity.

      even if every single contestant was soandso race, why would it matter?

      it's one thing to want diversity, but someone's race, white or not, shouldn't keep you from enjoying the show.

      As we all suspected, Manila is the face behind HellNoRacistDrag.

      Guys, this is almost definitely a joke. Like, do you really think Manila only supports contestants of color? Really really? Or that she doesn't know whether Australians are considered white? Come on. Trust me, as an actual SJW, this ain't SJW behavior. (Also, people who are serious about discussing race don't call others "ethnic.") Are there enough G's for everyone here to get five?

      Failed punchline on race as a whole. Oh well.

      Oh, and for those of you that forgot:

      Bebe (Black), Tyra (Black), Raja (Malaysian), Sharon (White), Jinkx (White), Bianca (Latina)

      I think we're good here, ladies. Let's move along.

      Yes, Manila. RUPAUL, a pioneer for black drag queens and drag queens period, is being racist in his eliminations. 5 Gs, girls.
