Typically they have token blacks. One or two per show. If this happens they get 50% of the contestants.

Will 'The Apprentice' Be a Black and White Issue?
Business mogul Donald Trump says 'he wasn't particularly happy' with the most recent season of his hit reality show, (featuring 'book smarts' vs. street smarts') and is considering controversial changes bound to generate buzz for upcoming episodes.
Among the proposals: piting a team of African-American contestants against a team of all white players.
'Whether people like that or not, it would be somewhat reflective of our world,' according to Trump. 'But needless to say, not everyone thinks it is a good idea.'

It's a no-win situation. A white person wins, and you're a racist. Black player wins, and it was rigged.
If he does that, I'll never watch another episode.

Who is going to be the third vote on the panel, Omarosa?
how about left handers vs right handers, or repubs vs democrats, or blonds vs brunettes, seniors vs teens.
Didn't PBS already do this back in the 1970's? (not to mention Wife Swap recently)
That would be brilliant! GOP vs. Dims (although probably not much of a contest) or Blondes vs. Brunettes.
LOL Good lord!
If he robs a white guy the feds consider him White / majority.
If the Mexican is robed by a black he is considered black / minority.

That's a question for 'the racial draft' on the Chappelle show...
Rob Burnett could possibly defend against the racism charge by putting Omarosa in as the permanent third judge, although NBC will still take a massive PR hit.
