That's a weird response. The essay's argument is that Jeopardy should retain the strength it had under Alex Trebek of being a game show that 'celebrates knowledge and intelligence when other game shows prefer slapstick humor or simple tasks'

The issue I have is that he associates the choice of a white man with 'substantial lack of awareness of recent cultural history and the coming of age our institutions'. And in case you were not sure, he makes it quite clear that be it isn't about his comments or statements. But is actually a 'deeper issue'. The hypocrisy is astounding. Seriously, can you imagine if someone suggested that choosing a black woman was somehow opposing 'knowledge and intelligence'? People would explode and justifiably!
