University of Southern California canceled a high-profile gubernatorial primary debate just hours before it was set to take place following backlash over the event's lack of racial diversity amongst invited candidates.

It was supposed to be Tuesday night at USC.

But somebody, including I believe our state attorney general, started screaming and crying that people who aren't polling anywhere near the other people weren't invited simply because of the color of their skin.

That's all it is.

USC initially defended its selection process, saying that invitations were based on data-driven formula developed by a university professor that weighed polling and fundraising, but critics argued the methodology produced a skewed outcome in a crowded race with no clear frontrunner.

The controversy escalated after California legislative leaders demanded the university expand the debate field.

Every excluded leading candidate, Javier Baccaria,

Betty Yee, Tony Thurmond, and Anthony Villarretardo as a person of color, lawmakers wrote in a letter to USC.

They called on USC to do the right thing.

And they said, if USC does not do the right thing, then we call on California voters to boycott this debate.

Okay, well, then let's have the debate.

And then if you want to boycott it, you can boycott it.

Well, the people who were supposed to be in it were Steve Hilton, Chad Bianco, Tom Steyer, who is... God, the guy's a retard.

Yes.

He's just stagnant.

And those are the two things they don't own.

Anyway, the primary for the governor's race in California is on June 2nd.
