Survivor premiered last might on CBS!

   Survivor premiered last might on CBS. The channel has been getting
   quite a bit of heat, and some even wanted the show pulled, because of
   its allegedly racist content. You see, there are initially 20
   survivors and they were divided into four racial groups;
   African-Americans (AAs), Asian-Americans (ASAs), Hispanic-Americans
   (HAs) and Caucasian-Americans (CAs). I am sure some studio execs felt
   that this was a way to disprove all the racist stereotypes.

   After one night, it was "proved" in competition that AAs are not good
   at contests that involve using their brains, as in the puzzle of
   putting their boat together. Once they assembled the boat, even though
   one AA said, "We are more than track stars!", they excelled in the
   physical challenge and would have won, but for the puzzle challenge at
   the end of the competition.

   The ASAs don't like jokes about their ethnicity and I am sure want to
   prove that ASAs are just as good as AAs, HAs and CAs, there was this
   moment when a sterotypical looking oriental man, who escaped from
   Vietnam, used ancient Chinese massage remedies to the head to relieve
   a team mate of his migrain. It was an inscrutible moment.

   So far the CAs have not stood out. They appear kind of bland, kind of
   whitebread! However, they did manage to get the CA women into the sack
   "to warm up!. One last racist moment came when the AAs were asked to
   send a member of the other teams to Exile Island. Right away two male
   AAs, without consulting their female AA team mates picked a CA as the
   first exile.

   I am sure glad this show will shy away from sterotypes.
