Before you get mad at me, this is in response to this article here:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/5284594.stm
To sum up:
City council officials are to stage a rally on Friday to urge New York-based CBS network to pull the 13th series of Survivor, due to air from 14 September.
Campaign group Hispanics Across America called the programme "racist TV".
The network announced on Wednesday that the 20 "castaways" would be initially segregated into groups of blacks, whites, Asians and Latinos before merging later in the series.
It said the move was aimed at addressing complaints that there had not been sufficient ethnic diversity in previous series.
To sum up even more:
Minorities: There's not enough ethnic diversity on your show!
CBS: Ok, we'll have a series entirely about different ethnic groups.
Minorities: That's segregation, you racist pigfuckers!
CBS: But you just said...
Minorities: HATE CRIME! HATE CRIME!
