Back when “The Apprentice” seemed generally fair in the first few seasons, remember the winner the first two years were white males. I’m sure there was some behind-the-scenes blowback about that. The following season, it seemed predetermined that a woman (Kendra) won and I found it interesting that the men were given large phallic-symbol “towers” to manage while Kendra was given a house to redecorate.

But that meant the first three winners were white so the next year they had Randal, a black that Trump practically proclaimed the winner in the first week. Randall and Trump had issues after Randal won and he’s been among the Apprentice players campaigning against Trump.

I honestly felt the show producers went to Trump and told him he needed a female and a black champion in order to blunt charges of racism and sexism. No doubt the LGBT community would have demanded a champion too but the format got switched to “Celebrity Apprentice” where the celebs were donating their winnings to HIV and gay causes.
