FrontPageMag: In the Black Lives Matter era, everything is too problematically white, including white wine.

As every single industry from cereal to dental supplies engages in its own ritual reckoning with a country so systemically racist that every part of its system is hysterically confessing to racism the way teenage girls in Salem confessed to witchcraft, the hangover is hitting wine country.

The whining about the whiteness of wine is overflowing at every high end publication.

“Too White Wine,” moaned the Financial Times.

The column by Jancis Robison, who received an Order of the British Empire for writing about wine, began by tweeting her, “shame at the lack of ethnic diversity in the world of wine.” more

    It seems to be mostly leftist women on the front lines of insanity like this.

    You could fix that problem by placing grapes on the NBA courts and letting all the black ballplayers trod them into wine while dribbling hither and yon all over the court!
