The new season of Survivor is going to divide the contestants by race. There's going to be 4 groups: White, Black, Hispanic, and Asian. Obviously this isn't very nice to people who belong to more than one race. They could have AT LEAST had one group of mixed-race individuals. What were they thinking?? People around the world are going to see this and then they'll think that mixed-race is impossible. And yes, there are people in the world--even in the United States--who have never heard of mixed-race.Oh and what happens at the end of this season of Survivor? Whichever racial group wins, it's going to support some stereotype. If the White group wins, the Neo-Nazis, KKK, and all those supremacy groups will be all over it. If the Black group wins, people are going to talk about how they're good at athletics. Or if the Asian groups wins, someone might say something about the Japanese in World War II.
Whoever wins, their race will somehow be associated with their victory. And mixed-race people will be completely ignored.

If the Black folks are African Americans then the classifications themselves are racist as the majority of Black Americans have White and or Native American ancestors. Due to the racist 1 drop rule, they are still regarded as Black
Survivor is racist to mixed race people and so is The Bachelorette, except season 4 in which there was a half Black/White devoutly Christian virgin guy who didn't believe in sex before marriage.
