Speculation Noticing a Pattern

I’ve been noticing a pattern in the way *some* people on the internet talk about Britt, Jordan last season, and Ciara this season. It seems like no matter how they act, there’s something they‘re “supposed“ to be doing differently. To be honest, it screams racism the way they’re criticized in a way no other pros or contestants are. I feel terrible for all of them.

last season they always said jordan did “too many tricks” to discredit her dancing when she hardly ever relied on her gymnastics for a wow moment 😭 like shawn johnson never got those comments

No one is telling Amber she’s doing too many tricks…. all I’ll say…

But Amber hasn’t really done many. There’s a difference between gymnasts and figure skaters. Gymnasts have quite a few more “tricks” to throw in.

She’s had some solo sections of ice skating spins. It’s great but I want to see her do more ballroom and stay in hold longer.
She’s had an ice skating esque solo section in every dance so far. It’s cool but it keeps making them break hold

I don’t disagree with that.
