New season of Survivor to divide tribes by race

[Neo]

According to CBS the new season of Survivor will divide tribes along racial lines. There will be 20 participants divided into four tribes - the white tribe, african-american tribe, asian tribe, and mexican tribe.

Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing? Should CBS be commended for taking such an enormous risk or have they completely lost their mind?

Of course the jokes have already started about how the mexicans will win all the swimming challenges, the asians will win all the mental challenges, the whites will move in and set up a housing development, etc.

....I might actually watch survivor now..

Its a "good" PR move I'll say that much. Considering I think survivor is slowly losing people, something like this will get people to watch.

I would like to take this time to state my displeasure at the fact you called "white" a race, yet not "black", "yellow", or "tanned".

Either use 'pc' choices for all, or none.

Anyways, I think this is a good idea to get people to watch the show again. It's not like it will really spawn any widespread racism. The most I can see is stereotypical jokes between people who watch the show. But I'll probably check out a few episodes once it starts up to see how it goes.

Their words not mine.

How about the cracker tribe?

"Cracker" is derrogatory, so then you'd have to say "nigger", "chink", and "spik."


Continuity, man!

It may not be politically correct, but I mean come on, who doesn't want to see it happen!?

but keep in mind that the tribes will still merge as they always do. So its only racist in the start.
