NPR correspondent is Big Mad Beyonce lost to white artists

Beyonce set a record for having the most Grammy Awards last Sunday, but people looking for racism everywhere were upset that she was “shut out” of the major categories like Album of the Year. It was ironic that one angry rantfest was a National Public Radio show called Pop Culture Happy Hour. They were mad on Monday that “very white” artists kept beating her.

It’s a little hard to claim someone is “better” in judging art, whether it’s movies or music or books. But that can also make it easy to claim that someone who loses is being discriminated against. It’s a vote, so it can be a popularity contest. NPR culture desk correspondent Anastasia Tsioulcas was quite upset:
