As if it wasn’t enough that Hollywood spews ultra-violence, shows all manner of sexual perversions during prime-time, and has turned comedy into an “art form” where insulting, berating, and hurting people is “funny” — all while claiming to be politically correct. Now the limousine liberals are pitting races against each other, and peddling it as “entertainment.” From the BBC:
The 20 “castaways” in the 13th season of US reality show Survivor will be divided according to their ethnicity.
The contestants will be segregated into four “tribes” of blacks, whites, Asians and Latinos when the hit CBS programme returns on 14 September.
Of course, this race-bating is being rationalized:
Organisers said they were addressing complaints that previous series had not been sufficiently ethnically diverse.
“So we said, ‘Let’s turn this criticism into creativity,’” host Jeff Probst told CBS’s Early Show.
“It fits in perfectly with what Survivor does. It is a social experiment.”
How does creating adversity between races constitute ethnic diversity?
