PROBLEMS WITH MINORITIES ISSUES

 I have recently watching all the old seasons & watch how Nina  voted or expressed her opinions toward minority designers.  She has been unfair toward them.  As she is is from a Latin background I feel she she will understand.  I do not like her.

Also, I noticed that when they promote the prizes for the current season they used the Fashion Week Winner clip but they only show a VERY BRIEF clip of Dom's show.  WHY?????  You need a microfine glass to see & stop the clip.  I feel this is wrong.
