American Apartheid?

When series two of The Apprentice first started I was convinced it would be a case of the WASPs (white anglo-saxon protestants) who would inherit the earth. Or at least the large part of it that came from working for Donald Trump.

And so it came to pass as Kevin, an impressively educated black guy who was by far the smartest and the most centred would-be business guru of those who made it through to the TV stages, got the bullet last night, leaving two blonde Barbie doll lookalikes and former military man Kelly as the final three.

I’m not saying that Donald Trump is a racist (libel lawyers take note) because nobody with that hair could EVER realistically criticise anyone else on the grounds of appearance. And he is particularly fond of helping Eastern Europeans, especially if they’re young, female models with long legs all the way up to their arses. But it was interesting that a white man and four of his white business chums all picked two pretty white women and a half-witted white guy with a military background over someone who had consistently proven himself on task after task over the series.

After the eviction of Kevin one of the dim blondes went and now my only interest in the series is seeing if Trump realises that his business empire is named after a noun that in England means foul-smelling gas escaping from the bottom.

I am also hoping that they reshow the section of Donald Trump carrying an Olympic torch and jogging along the street as part of the New York bid that featured on last night’s show. ‘To be a winner you have to think like a winner!’ boasted the amusingly coiffured one’s voice-over while he jogged along, a vision in shell suit and mad hair.

News flash on this one Donald. You bloody well lost! From little victories...
