Mark Burnett said he wanted to present the 'most diverse cast ever'. But the 5 member 'Hispanic tribe' contains only one obvious 'non-caucasian' (the younger woman appears to be of mixed race). The rest are clearly caucasian (white) Hispanics.
So we have 5 whites in the caucasian tribe, and 4 in the 'Hispanic' tribe, for a total of 9, outnumbering all other races. So much for 'diversity'. Why couldn't Burnett have found 5 'Hispanic' persons who were clearly of mixed race?
All of this points out the absurdity of the very artificial 'Hispanic' classification in the first place. Why should white Spaniards be classified as 'minorities' anyway? Their ancestors are as guilty as the English. And the survivor cast of 'Hispanics' shows just how white they can be.
Be honest - without them telling you who was in what tribe and without seeing any last names, who could tell who was considered 'Hispanic' and who was considered 'white'? Isn't this concept just disgusting and divisive? EW!
