'Survivor' and Racial Discrimination


The season 13 premier of Survivor is gaining quite the buzz in the blogging community. Producer Mark Burnett announced this morning that the new show, set in the Cook Islands, will start off in four teams divided by race. While the over-all reaction to this format is appears to be sour, it may just end up making this the best season of Survivor yet.

The teams will be named the White Tribe, the African-American Tribe, the Asian Tribe, and Hispanic Tribe. What a great way to unite different races and overcome stereotypes. Think of all the times history has proven to su that racially motivated competitions have turned out in everyone's favor. There was Veitnam, World War II, and the Civil War for starters and everyone involved in those competitions get along great now.
