The year has absolutely nothing to do with it. Social dynamics haven't changed.

I haven't seen racism used with this, but whatever's whatever.
Correct, any organization with no real history of stepping, that won because it shocked people and that's all, can't be seen as the 1st place organization. In this instance, it was a "historically and predominantly white sorority." That is also why this news feed is reaching so many people who would otherwise not give a damn about ANY of this stuff. Therefore, it is also reaching people who have absolutely no basis for their opinions and they don't know that stepshow results that are deemed unfair are always challenged. People just have different reasons to challenge these results because they know the nature of the beast.
Sprite and MTV2 knew what they were doing--welcome to the world of race (which is not synonymous with racism). A non-NPHC org that was still predominantly Black wouldn't have received such coverage.
