    This coming season, Survivor (the American "reality" show) will be dividing the competing teams in a...well...unconventional fashion. They are going to be dividing the teams by "race" this season.

    Personally, I am really surprised (and abhorred) that anybody actually thought this was a good idea. I heard about this a few days ago and I am still shocked.

    My biggest fear is people will start "rooting" for "their race" and we will see more of this white pride bullshit and other reactionary things.

    My biggest hope is that nobody cares to watch the show and we'll see it fade into oblivion. If not that, then my second hope is that the "master race" gets creamed by the "mud races".

    I ain't rooting for my race. I'm fucking root for everyone but the whites. It's gonna be awesome, everyone but the whiteys are going to be kicking ass while some supermodel tries to figure out how to turn a cocunut into a mocha latte.

    You should be banned for your racism.

    I'm quite surprised that such a major corporation is doing something this controversial. Maybe it's from the "No publicity is bad publicity" standpoint. Perhaps more people will watch the show this season just to see what will happen.

    It could also lead to backlash...

    Anyways Survivor sucks, as does all reality TV.

    You are sterotyping whites as dumb superficial supermodels.

    He never said the super models were white. Unfortunately you must have dyslexia or some other reading disorder which inhibits your ability to process written information.

    No on here has been racist, if you want to see racism you can gladly come to this topic:

    Umm, have you ever watched the show? There&#39;s usually like two or three white supermodels on the show.

    Good point, C_Ras. Hundreds of years of institutional, social, economic, and political racism against people of color.

    And Hopscotch dares to use the term "whitey". What gall&#33;

    As for me, I won&#39;t be watching it. But as soon as I hear about any whites cheering for their race, I&#39;ll be inviting Hopscotch over to cheer for our non-white comrades.

    Why do you take things so seriously all the time?

    This is precisely it.

    A segregated survivor is &#39;controversial&#39;, and controversy = ratings.

    Obviously the makers of survivor are aware that the &#39;franchise&#39; has been dying a slow death for a while now (which season is this? 9?), and are struggling to keep the format &#39;fresh&#39;, there&#39;s only so many times you can, &#39;OMG LETS MIX THE TRIBES TOGETHER AT AN UNEXPECTED MOMENT&#33;&#33;&#33;&#39; - i think one of the past seasons, they did a sex-based split with men vs. wom*n? I think i remembering seeing or hearing about that. Segregating the show on &#39;racial&#39; grounds is just another manifestation of that, maybe next year they&#39;ll have, &#39;Survivor: San Fran, GAY VERSUS STRAIGHT&#33;&#39;

    He would have got a warning point if he&#39;d used the term "nigger", wouldn&#39;t he?
    But no consequences for using "whitey"?

    Double standard...I thought we didn&#39;t tolerate ANY kind of racism.

    You think &#39;whitey&#39; has the same weight historical-contemporay weight as &#39;nigger&#39;?

    It&#39;s still a racial insult. Check the definition.

    It is somewhat racist, but somewhat interesting. I am going to watch Survivor this season for the first time in my life.

    I understand that it&#39;s still a racial insult, but it&#39;s basically benign is my point.

    It sees like a racist idea to me. I don&#39;t believe racial segregation benefits anyone.

    Besides, if most (if not all) of the producers and editors of the show are white. It&#39;s bound to be unfair. Hollywood is well known for their racism.
