The next series of the TV series Survivor will pit Whites, Blacks, Asians and Hispanics against one another. The host of the CBS show Jeff Probst called the show a 'social experiment'. A spokeswoman for a Latino advocacy group was critical of the move and said that it was almost provoking people to act negatively toward other races.
I am surprised they don't included a Middle Eastern 'tribal group', given the current state of affairs in the World, with the growing 'voluntary' racial profiling that seems to be invasively making its way into society.
Once again, this places us firmly up against the issue of censorship and the role of the media in shaping the minds of those who are exposed to this bizarre form of 'reality entertainment'. While I would not advocate against the rights of the networks to create bad taste entertainment (there is a heap of it out there), this show will, in my view, only encourage already existing seeds of distrust to grow and proliferate.
The fact that there is no middle eastern group in involved in the show has as much power by its omission as it would if included. An all out war in the middle east would suit the agenda of many of the world's most powerful at this time and the support of a compliant public would certainly smooth the way. CBS will be doing their bit to see that people are encouraged to think of their enemies in racial terms.
The wave of arrogance and self-absorbness prevalent in our world at this time is fuelled by this kind of simplistic and trashy entertainment where the more ugly people get toward one another, the more the producers like it and the more it becomes an acceptable way to behave towards others.
No doubt it will screen in New Zealand soon enough...
