CNN Reporter Marvels at Lack of Minorities at South Dakota Motorcycle Gathering
6th August 2018
The laughably awkward teaser for the segment featured CNN reporter Bill Weir wandering around the blue collar town in a CNN ‘Facts First’ shirt and talking to some of the thousands of bikers who ride to Sturgis every year to celebrate the biker lifestyle. In the opening of the segment, Weir is seen driving down the road on a motorcycle complaining about the lack of minorities in the town.
“This is one city that looks nothing like the rest of America,” Weir, who is a white male, observes, “You can go hours without seeing a person of color. In Sturgis, a minority is a white guy on a foreign bike.”
What are they supposed to do, import Fashionable Minorities to make him feel better?
