Alexandra is a black woman from Islington.
She hasn’t had formal dance training or attended stage school.
Her mother died 10 wks ago.
She’s been targeted with a relentless smear campaign of (almost entirely) false stories in tabloids for 10 wks.
Who’s the underdog?

I presume those slating Alexandra Burke for her starring role in two musicals are equally outraged with Joe McFadden for his roles in ‘Rent’ and ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.’
Or is public castigation only saved for black women?

Your take is very reductive. You could say the same about any number of TV series which have been made.
