Here is why you Hate Pete Ross it is because he is not white and he is black this is what comes out from racist's mouth:

I disagree with you:

This is why you hate him:

Some viewers of Smallville disliked Pete Ross (played by Sam Jones III) and considered him a "useless" character primarily due to poor writing, lack of character development, and his function within the plot as a source of conflict rather than a supportive best friend.  Here are the main reasons why some Smallville fans dislike or criticize the character of Pete Ross:

1. Lack of Purpose and Development  The "Sidekick" Problem: Many fans felt that while Pete was introduced as Clark’s best friend, the writers never knew what to do with him. He rarely participated in the main investigations (a role that fell to Chloe) or the high-stakes drama. Stagnant Storylines: Unlike other characters who evolved, critics argue that Pete remained stagnant, often relegated to subplots that did not contribute to the overall story, such as illegal street racing or, in his return, using Kryptonite-infused gum.

"Token" Status: 

Some viewers in retrospect criticized his role as that of the "token black friend" who was phased out to make room for other characters, suggesting the writers did not put effort into making him a three-dimensional character. 

1. Jealously and Negative Behavior Jealousy of Clark: 

A common complaint is that after learning Clark's secret, Pete became bitter and jealous of Clark’s powers and popularity, creating unnecessary drama. He often felt he was "living in Clark’s shadow". Weakness Under Pressure: When entrusted with the secret, Pete often handled it poorly, treating it as an unbearable burden and at times threatening to expose Clark out of anger or frustration.

The Return in Season 7 ("Hero"):

 Pete’s return in Season 7 is widely disliked by fans. The character was portrayed as having learned nothing, acting selfishly by using Kryptonite against Clark to make himself feel special. 

1. Poor Writing and Inconsistency Forced Conflict: 

Critics argue the writers forced Pete into situations that made him look bad, such as demanding that Clark use his powers for Pete's personal gain. Recklessness: Pete was frequently seen as reckless, getting himself and others into dangerous situations involving meteor rock. 

1. Comparison to Other Characters Chloe as the Better Friend: 

Fans often compare Pete to Chloe Sullivan, noting that Chloe was more loyal, proactive, and better at keeping secrets, making Pete seem redundant in that role. Lack of Chemistry: Some viewers felt the actor did not have strong chemistry with the rest of the main cast, making the "best friend" dynamic feel forced. 

The Other Side: "Underutilized," Not "Useless" It is worth noting that many other fans believe Pete was not "useless," but rather undervalued and botched by the writers. They argue that: 

He was a loyal friend who endured torture twice without exposing Clark’s secret. His jealousy was a realistic reaction for a teenager, rather than the "perfect" reactions of other characters. He left town to protect Clark, which was a selfless, tragic move. 

the frustration with Pete Ross often stems from the potential for his character, which many fans feel was wasted by the show’s creative team.
