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.

Was never an issue when ya'll were pouring acid to get us out of the pool. Or when we couldn't go to "white only" businesses. Or schools.

A white performer can have an entire stage of nothing but white dancers and they wouldn't say boo, but the black performer does the same, suddenly they see it as unfair. 🙄
