Lamar filled the stage with performers, but none of them seemed to be white. While most may not even have noticed, some particularly upset users took to X to express their frustration.

"There's no diversity in the half time show. DEI only goes one direction and this horrible halftime show perfectly represents why DEI needs to die," a user wrote.

If you’ve tuned out the vocals because you can’t understand it, the music because you don’t like it, and have to sit there for 15 minutes with it on because you don’t want to miss the actual game, then that kind of thinking happens. Not saying it’s right. I’ll be honest, it was odd, but IDGAF about the half time show. So yes, people are looking for the opportunity to point this type of thing out.
