If you haven't heard, for the upcoming season of "Survivor" CBS has split the initial 16 contestants into 4 groups - caucasian, african american, asian, and hispanic. Many are up in arms about this. A NYC politician was quoted as saying ""This show has the potential to set back our nation's race relations by 50 years." Is this just over-reacting? I mean come on, it's just a TV show. Is separating people into groups like this considered racist? When they split people up last season by sex and age, was that discrimination as well, and if so, why did nobody raise a fuss about that? Don't you think that everyone who complains about it is just giving the show free publicity?
I consider myself to be a well educated person with healthy opinions on race relations. This just seems like much ado about nothing to me. What do you think?
