Survivor has always been a social experiment and they sort of do this already anyway.The show needed a shot in the arm and a new twist. right or wrong, this is it.I am excited to see this season.

First they b.itch because there were too many white folk and now they b.itch beacuse they are add more of an ethnic mix....The critics who are obviously a bunch of a.ssclowns that don't watch the show won't realized that they will propbably be racially divided for only a short period of time before they start merging. I personally think it is a great idea.

I think it is horrible. Unfortunately, it will probably get the highest ratings ever. If anyone doesn't believe that racism is alive and kicking, I predict this show will set that straight. Racist comments and feelings are sure to come out. I wish folks would not watch it as long as they are in racially divided teams, but I know that won't happen.As a minority, the fact that this is acceptable TV really saddens me. :club:

The world segregates people for all sorts of reasons. It can be appearance, economics, intelligence, religion, culture, and yes color. People are living with their head in the sand if they don't think this is a world where prejudice will always exist to some level. All we can do is try to learn and grow.......... heck...this is getting deep......let's just play freakin poker.......

Are you a fan of Hansen? Is that what makes you a minority?

Rush Limbaugh had some funny things to say about this. But of course because he said them he is a racisit.http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/sit...son.member.htmlNot sure if you can read it without being a member, but give it a try.My favorite part is when he says the white team will probably bring vials of diseases with them in order to destroy the ecosystem of this 'virgin' island.

You are absolutely right. But do we have to glorify segregation on TV? Is this so exceptable in our society that we can make it front and center on a reality game show and no one think a thing about it. Sad. . .

They aren't doing this for some greater cause and message. They know that there will be tension and it will turn racial and sadly this is what people crave for television. I can see it now when the White Tribe wins the first challenge how everyone will scream "BROCOLLI!" Maybe they will have a math challenge and the other tribes will complain that it is too easy for the asian tribe...etc. It's just going to be a mess. But this America, and this what Americans enjoy, whoch is why reality shows that have anger and fights seem to draw so many people. Personally, I find it stupid and wrong. If it was for some sort of message to say "We are all the same" or some other thing like that I would think a little differently, but this is Mark trying to get more ratings and $. Again, that's what America is all about.And I agree with an poster who said AR>Survivor. Hands down. The original few survivors were good, then they started messing around and it got lame IMHO. AR has been AR, plain and simple and every year they win the awards for best Reality TV Show. Survior, nope. I wonder if they will use racial slurs for the different tribes, like Chinks, Spics, Niggas, Crackers. Would it really surprise anyone?
