Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on The Great 'Race' Furor as Survivor Splits Teams by Ethnicity IslandGirl 08/24/06 12:30 AM "We realized that there would be a lot of heat, but I look at [racism] as truly an American malady," said Burnett and I totally agree !!!!! NT tinytunes 09/14/06 07:59 PM Well ya know it does say "A social experiment like we have never done before" BossLady 09/06/06 05:33 PM This is a good way to get the show cancelled, what a dumb idea. NT Anonymous 08/24/06 07:48 PM When you first hear they are doing that, it takes you aback. However, cricket 08/24/06 08:07 PM I read they actually had a hard time getting people of other races to try out for it. NT BossLady 09/06/06 05:34 PM well put. i agree. let's give it a chance before everyone trashes the show NT LadyT 09/06/06 10:18 AM I must say, when I first heard about it, I thought it sounded like a good idea. starr4all 09/14/06 02:57 PM And that's exactly why they're doing it! NT cricket 09/14/06 03:33 PM There's an obscure sense of equality, so to speak. So often we've heard tribe members say, "Well, I was the only ____, so they didn't understand me," dustbunny2 08/26/06 04:44 PM ITA This is one case where you cannot pull the race card - but watch the gender or age card will be pulled - differences will be sought.. NT tinytunes 09/14/06 08:04 PM Very well said, sandy.....I am looking forward to this NT SillyWilly 08/26/06 04:24 PM My only problem with it is that in order to get enough minorities, they ended up recruiting people rather than selecting auditions Fluffy_Bunny 08/24/06 08:25 PM I hate when they select actors or models who didn't try out... Grygazol 08/26/06 05:45 PM Yeah, but one might argue that they recruit "pretty" people, too, rather than average people. dustbunny2 08/26/06 04:52 PM ITA Race is not a consideration - the contestant wannabe needs to be body beautiful and hot, esp women NT tinytunes 09/14/06 08:07 PM You're right.... remember Rupert BrenCrow 08/27/06 10:31 AM Talk to Erika, she's a 'casting coordinator' for Survivor... NT deVinePoet 08/26/06 10:55 PM Like she actually applied for Big Brother...she was probably another casting director's pilates instructor NT Grygazol 08/27/06 02:49 PM Yeah, but she voluntarily kisses Boogie, so her taste is not what I would call discriminating. :D NT dustbunny2 08/27/06 09:36 AM I highly doubt that Survivor will be canceled anytime soon.
