I heard they were going to do the race thing with The Apprentice, but NBC stopped it. So Burnett has been wanting to do this for a while, I guess. I don't even watch Survivor, but I'm going to catch some of this. Because it sounds like it'll be awesome.

Well in light of the fact that America was built on the premise of racism and it remains alive and well 200 years later, at least the show will live up to its title of reality, which means at some point it will get very ugly.

I can't wait for Survivor. I think the premise is great. I don't know why people are so hung up that the races will be "segregated", when in fact, the majority of the races are segregated in the schools, neighborhoods, and etc.
It's about time, that a show puts the facts in primetime, no matter how uncomfortable it makes people.

That's true Soul, I do think our PC society has a knee jerk reaction to things like this.

Just kidding on the over emphasis on the "white"; I just couldn't resist.

I think what bothers me is that they finally get some real cultural/racial diversity on the show, and this is what they do with it. Like, why can't they just cast a really diverse cast and let it go? I always wondered what would happen if shows like this, or The Real World, or Big Brother, or even The Amazing Race decided to go with a non-white majority, or even a non-heterosexual majority on their show?

Exactly. So, they've gotten raked over the coals for lack of diversity. Wouldn't the solution be to just...have a more diverse cast? Why turn it into a gimmick? Most people I know who watch the show watch it no matter what stupid gimmick they come up with, anyway.

W-w-what??? I'm still waiting to see Corporate America to do that, not to mention integration in neighborhoods, churches, and schools. As I stated earlier, I'm glad Survivor put out the smelly underwear for everyone to take a whiff of, enjoy.
