Super Bowl fans whine over Kendrick Lamar's halftime show - 'DEI only goes one direction' (www.irishstar.com)

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.

I found this somewhere and thought it was a pretty good explanation for all the symbolism in his performance.

And even tho I'm not super familiar with his music, I do respect him and an artist and really enjoyed the show.

Edit: and Serena crip-walking on Drake getting called a pedophile on international TV was just the icing on the cake for me.

I think the stage was PlayStation symbols (play the game) - (game over)

There were four not three. Square, triangle, circle, X
