Don't know if anyone watches the "Survivor" series...but the new one has just started...with a very controversial twist...they have separated the "tribes" according to ethnic races...

There are the "Caucasian, Hispanics, Asians and African Americans"

What are your thoughts about this...

I've never watched it, and sounds like another reason for me not to.

Unfortunately, I can't watch it.

I take care of a post-polio parylized woman Monday-Friday weeknights.

BUT-- I couldn't be on any of those teams. There is no "Multi-racial" team. My Mom is white and My Dad is Mexican. Would I be on two teams??laugh

I like the show which is on Thursday Nights at 8 p.m. I'm not sure about this division and how it will work. I do know that the poor African American team was distictly at a disadvantage given the fact they are all "city kids" or so one of them made that statement about themselves. They know nothing of how to survive out in the wilderness. And, by losing the challenge, they proved that they didn't really well by voting off the one guy with any muscles and at least some survival skills. If they lose again, the other guy is gone because the women will stick together and we'll see how the skills of the 3 women left pan out.

The Asians have a real survivor guru, Cowboy (Coe Boi) from Korea I think. He's great but I hope they don't get scared he'll win and vote him off. The Hispanics lost their chicken and the Caucasian guy who picked it up got sent to Exile Island by the African Americans because of that. As for the chickens, the Caucasians have a real ditsy dingbat who picked up the box they were under and then when "oh" when the chickens ran for dear life. If they go to Tribal Council, I'd vote her off first. It may have been just a silly mistake, but at the cost of 2 chickens, she needs to go.

Happy Surviving....

I haven't seen the show- but I saw the host on a talk show and he said if you're part of two ethnic backgrounds then you would be on the tribe that you most identified yourself with-

When they didn't divide by "races"...did they not divide themselves by gravitating towards their own age groups...gender???

How is that different...its still segregating by some distinction...

How odd... "the race you most identify yourself with"

I don't do that. I am multiracial, and thats how identify myself. There is no "one more than the other"confused dunno

Was checking out something and found this...

I don't watch TV so I don't know what survivor is but...

I gather from what Wikkid said it's a competition.

Is there someone out there stupid enough to FOSTER competion between ethnic groups.

jaw drop Insane comes to mind

I'll make a bet that the losing team will throw that up. I can here it, " I lost because of my race...." Then a law suit, then another day in the spot light (15 minutes of fame).

My boy's are mix, they have a black/indian mom. They love the show, and they don't like the idea of it. I'm not going to let them watch, I can see it all ready when the teams start to fight with each other, racial slur's will be yelled, if not a real fight.

The world is evil enough and we all only have one earth, get along folks.

I used to think all the race stuff on the news was blown way out of proportion.

Two of my daughters are mix. The government identifies them as ameriasian.

I could not believe some of the stuff that has been said or done because of that.

There are some very twisted people in the world.
