Can I say Vince Mcmahon is racist?

Yes the current wwe Heavyweight Champion is Kofi Kingston. An African man from Ghana, so it sounded inclusive but the guy took 11 years before he won a main event belt. He was in midcard hell for 11 years. Oh Mark Henry another black guy who was loyal to the company took 13 years to be a heavyweight champion.
Oh you may say Roman Reigns is Samoan and his cousin the Rock is half black Half Samoan and they became champions, But they look racially Ambiguous. Most of the time the non white heavyweight champions are heels or villains. Batista is half Filipino and he was a heavyweight champion but they never mentioned his ethnic background. They make him pass as white.
People are expecting Shinsuke Nakamura to became a champion because he got over to the crowd but they turned him into a villain and they never make him win a main roster title.
Now lets go the women's division. He have a huge obsession with blonde women. Asuka and Sasha Banks are over with the crowd and sells more merch than Charlotte but they make her lose to Charlotte
Alexa Bliss is injury prone and always gets sick but they kept on putting her on the title scene and they make her bury Bayley who is Mexican, Mickey James who is Native American and both are better wrestlers than her.
Nikki Bella and AJ Lee are hispanic women and managed to have long title reigns but only because they dated John Cena and CM Punk.
So Vince will only give a woman of color a long title reign if she dates a main event guy.
I think Vince's racism will make more people move to AEW since its more inclusive than WWE.

"Now lets go the women's division." How about no, because we all know how crap-tastic the women's division is under Vinny Mac Jr.'s tenure. Always has been, always will be. The Iconics should've won the women's tag titles in a match with Bayley and Sasha instead of that six women cluster mess of a match. Hell I'm surprised you didn't mention the "Kabuki Warriors" crap with Asuka and Io Shirai. Like I get Americans are numb-skulls when it comes to Japanese culture, but that's pushing it. You even neglected to mention how Sasha's title reigns usually last a week
That being said, I doubt Vince's racism is intentional but more accidental, as the old fart's unadaptable.

Nice to see a Mexican American like Bayley is defending her title against an African American like Ember moon after the months of Blondpocalypses going on. I mean Becky is still stuck defending against Blondes. Before she became a champion she was jobbing to blondes. It took people's anger for her to get a push because even though she is white, she is a foreigner and Vince hates accents.

@Hanyouyomi The dropping ratings, the tarpolined arenas is an indication that Vince should focus on XFL and let Hunter takeover. The best wwe show right now is nxt.
Asuka is suppose to have a longer reign but Charlotte gave this stupid idea to give her the title so the stakes of the women's main even will be higher. She doesn't sell merch, she is getting x-pac heat, yet she is still being shoved.

Had no idea Bayley was of Mexican descent, as nothing she does would indicate that. Then again nothing I do indicates that I'm black, and I'm the color of a Hershey's bar...
Plus I'mma be a jaded so-and-so, but don't expect Ember Moon's reign to last if she become SmackDown Women's champ. Well this is typical of WWE or any business, once they get you with some sense of quality, they crap the bed assuming you'll go for anything after that.
I especially see Vince doing this again because like I expressed he's unadaptable.

@Hanyouyomi I think after the Cody Rhodes/Dustin Rhodes match they have proven they can do storylines. I think recently WWE had alienated people with the absentee champion Brock Lesnar not being on tv,People getting injured on house shows because of the heavy schedule, Ratings killer like Baron Corbin being on TV and the blondpocalypse of the Women's division. Nothing against Blondes but their best females right now are not blondes but they kept on shoving Charlotte and Alexa despite of their xpac heat.

And yet people keep coming back like now because of this short lived push to boost ratings. Why do you think Vinny Mac brought back Heymen and Bishoff, because he knew they could shake things up in ways that would boost ratings.
AEW doesn't have that luxury or WWE's history, if they screw up once or maybe twice they're done. And from where I sit they kinda already have a problem with the likes of Moxely being a hardcore brawler along with Awesome Kong and Aja Kong.
Why is Moxely a problem...? His match against Joey Janella at Fyter Fest, nuff said. And while I know how awesome(no pun intended) Awesome Kong and Aja Kong are, most Americans will see them as "two fat women." You've got a similar problem with guys like Bray Wyatt and Kevin Owens, as many WWE loyalists and casuals alike thing they don't belong in a wrestling ring because of how WWE's conditioned people to thinking only burly men belong in a wrestling ring.
though in a way, God forbid this being the case, but Vinny Mac's conditioning of what pro-wrestling looks like might've already hurt AEW chances because their diverse roster might not jell well with casuals.

He is now facing a threat known as AEW which is owned by a Billionaire richer than him. He is so racist that he fired Filipino wrestler TJ Perkins after hiring Filipino wrestler Joaquin Wilde because he thinks American audience will be confused because they look the same to him but they dont.

The thread is more focused on racism, I am not asking you if you watch wwe.
