Reality TV sunk to new depths http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/08/30/opinion/garver/main1949281.shtml
Its hardly right though. We are all humans. We aren't BORN with that. It's like how you hear these stories about kids who are raised by dogs/wolves and learn to be accepted in their society. If all these racist fucks in the past hadn't fucked it up, not thinking about the future of society maybe we would have a bareable world where we actually help eachother, instead of having petty, shitty and pointless fights over a subject like skin colour. I'm not even talking about wars, I'm talking daft arguments, scummy pikey kids throwing things/calling Aisian's and Jew's. It really pisses me off thinking about what the world would be like without "that" sort of segmentation. This sort of thing happens enough without the media instigating it, that is totally unnecassary. As I said in my previous post, it's ratings they care about, nothing else. Prick's in my opinion. The sick thing is it is totally irreversable now, it's came too far. It's dissapointing how African Americans/British Actually refer to themselves as (excuse the term) niggers. It's degrading towards them and "white folk" prey on it (especially in America). Fuck Survivor, I wouldn't give them the satisfaction of watching it.
dont think its racist having a white only team and a black only team as there are in america fraturnitys just for black people, lots of things just for blacks now is that racist?
That isnt racist, portraying the ethnic groups competing aginst eachother is basically saying "lets make them fight".
Don't get me wrong, I shan't be watching this. But if a little friendly competition between nations is nothing new, then why not races? I mean, it's not like there hasn't been animosity between European nations too. Applies equally to gender, I suppose.
A nation has the ability to defend itself, minorities within a nation rarely have this ability. The promotion of racial contest within a nation can only ever produce negative results.
It's not really a contest though is it? More friendly competition. And I suspect most of the races involved in this would object to your saying they are unable to defend themselves. But I agree it's a little tasteless and as I say, I won't be watching
But I suppose I then have no argument against a reality TV show featuring 'Muslims versus Buddhists' though do I? Interesting how we are happy to laugh at some groups and allow them to compete, but not others.
I'm speaking from experience, ethnic minorities tend to be unable to defend themselves. Every genocide the world has witnessed is a testament to this
Rumour has it Mr T is standing for the African American camp, and has heard your comments Be afraid....
What you laugh at others wouldn't, in Sri Lanka Muslim and Bhuddist extremist are engaged in a bitter conflict.
I know I wouldn't, my point was that if I was the director, I wouldn't sanction an inter-religion competition, I definitely would sanction a inter-gender competition and I'm undecided about race. The ones I'm least likely to think appropriate are the ones with the most recent history of conflict/discrimination.....perhaps moving towards inter-racial friendly competition is a positive move, as it suggests decreasing discrimination. :think:
it's too soon after shabbat for this... encouraging racial supremacy is wrong - I know you're only arguing for the sake of it
