Super Bowl fans whine over Kendrick Lamar's halftime show - 'DEI only goes one direction' (www.irishstar.com)

Lamar filled the stage with performers, but none of them seemed to be white. While most may not even have noticed, some particularly upset users took to X to express their frustration.

"There's no diversity in the half time show. DEI only goes one direction and this horrible halftime show perfectly represents why DEI needs to die," a user wrote.

I watched it and thought Kendrick Lamar is awesome! Samuel L Jackson is awesome! Serena Williams is awesome! DJ Mustard is awesome!

I never thought oh they're all black...

Oh I did. I just sat there with my hands tented together saying good...gooood over and over

Kendrick knew exactly what he was doing by having everyone be non-white. I was all for it.

I spent the entire SB waiting for the halftime show for that very reason. I caught some of it, my environment was too noisy for some of it. But when I heard his opening line about the revolution being televised I knew it was going to be what I was hoping for.
