I agree with everything you said except this part. Look at the gimmick MVP has and the audience he's trying to connect with. I wish WWE would stop giving every ethnic/ minority performer a fucking stereotypical gimmick.

Look at Faarooq. His biggest run came when he stopped being black and became a beer drinker who whooped ass. The majority of WWE's fan base can relate to that and love a character like that more than some pissed off black guy.

Same deal with the other two guys. They gave Chavo the fucking Kerwin White gimmick once again playing off race.

I don't think you can put Kennedy in the same boat because he was getting t.v. time and getting over. His biggest fuck up was apparently hugging Randy Orton from behind when he came back and then not placing him gently enough on the mat during their match.
