...Are they basically saying it's OK to offend racially but not politicaly?!
...Am I the only one who thinks major networks are going down the toilet this season?

Maybe they're actually racist at heart?
Seperating them by race is only going to make one look "better" than another when one wins the competitions. Why should the races be seperated? It implies that single-race teams are going to perform differently from each other. And they will, but because of the individuals and not the race. It will end up being generalized to everyone.
Native Americans are about as Asian as the Incans were. In other words not at all.

Fascinating. Why is it that YOU didn't back off Survivor when it divided the two teams by gender? According to your way of thinking, wouldn't that have been "SEXIST"? Except it wasn't, was it? The producers weren't claiming that either gender was superior to the other during that show, and neither are they promoting one race over the other.
To answer your question about the new 9/11 mini-series, the network is coming under fire because parts of the mini-series were completely fabricated and inaccurate. ABC is backing off because, in the words of the FBI agent brought in to consult on the project, "they were making things up."

First of all it's not racist. They are just grouping the people by race to make it interesting. Racism is when you give one group a disadvantage because of race. Are you saying your race is at a disadvantage for being grouped by themselves? I sure hope not or YOU are being racist. Secondly "aniatario", Your race is being represented. You are an Asian. There are NO native Americans only Asians who got here before the White man and several other cultures who got here even further back than the Asians. So give up the whole minority whining thing.

What are you talking about?
Television will be the downfall of our civilization. It is rotting our minds and killing us slowly.
The toilet is not where the networks are going (and taking us with them), we are all going to HE LL in a handbasket. Good thing it will be televised and broadcast in HD.

Yeah, grouping them together by race, is not racist. They are not saying that one race is better than another, they are not giving an unfair advantage to one race over another.

Actually, what they are saying is that it is not okay to trivialize people's sorow by turning it into fiction.
Give them time to talk about racism.
