This should spawn some interesting if not good debate…
The new season of “Survivor” will be a race among races.
At the start of the reality show’s 13th edition, “Survivor: Cook Islands,” 20 contestants will be organized into four tribes divided along ethnic lines - black, white, Hispanic and Asian, CBS announced Wednesday.

As a Survivor nut (unfortunately), I can’t believe they’ll be doing that either! Wow. Ought to be very interesting… because in America, there’s no such thing as Race, doncha know?

In the joke though, the beaners (latinos/hispanics) disappeared the first night and showed up on the beach of Miami…

If their goal was to generate buzz and get people talking then they have played a brilliant hand because a lot of people are talking about this. I didn’t even know the new season was starting until this story hit and now I’m definitely going to watch.
Rush Limbaugh is getting a lot of heat for some of his statements about the black tribe being the worst swimmers and that “it is not going to be fair if there’s a lot of water events”
