There was supposed to be a debate tonight for the California gubernatorial race but it has been canceled because only white candidates met the criteria for the event.<\/p>\n

Millions of Americans tonight are saying \u2013 So what? Who even cares about this?<\/p>\n

California has massive problems right now. Is this really one of them?<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Perhaps this is one of the reasons that California is bleeding population for the first time in history. Because the people in charge are obsessing over skin color instead of the crazy high taxes and homes that are still not rebuilt more than a year after the wildfires.<\/p>\n

NBC News<\/a> reports:<\/p>\n

California governor debate canceled after criticism of criteria that excluded candidates of color<\/strong><\/p>\n

A California gubernatorial debate was canceled just hours before it was set to occur on Tuesday after mounting criticism that only white candidates in the crowded field had qualified for the event.<\/p>\n

The criteria to participate in the debate, which was set to be co-sponsored by the University of Southern California and the Los Angeles TV station KABC, had emerged in recent days as a source of controversy in the wide-open race to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom. The sprawling field includes eight prominent Democrats and two major Republicans, as well as several other lesser-known candidates.<\/p>\n

USC had faced condemnation for using polling and fundraising criteria for participation in the debate that had resulted in the exclusion of all the nonwhite gubernatorial candidates.<\/p>\n

In a statement from late Monday night, USC said that the \u201cconcerns about the selection criteria\u201d for the debate had \u201ccreated a significant distraction from the issues that matter to voters.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, USC and KABC have not been able to reach an agreement on expanding the number of candidates at tomorrow\u2019s debate. As a result, USC has made the difficult decision to cancel tomorrow\u2019s debate and will look for other opportunities to educate voters on the candidates and issues,\u201d the university said in that statement.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Here\u2019s a video report:<\/p>\n\n

The left\u2019s obsession with DEI and race is destroying the country. The candidates for governor should be slugging it out, offering ideas for how to fix the problems there, but they can\u2019t because if only white candidates qualify for the event, it\u2019s racist.<\/p>\n

California has serious issues. It\u2019s time to get serious about fixing them and knock off all of the woke nonsense. It\u2019s pointless and destructive.<\/p>\n
