"competition in a new season of CBS' reality TV program Survivor, in which contestants are reportedly divided into competing "tribes" by ethnicity, "is not going to be fair

Whether it is fair or not is the least of my concerns. The program, if it airs, will be promoting bigotry. The whole idea of these shows is to get the audience to buy into it by rooting for their favorite team ... in this case, based primarily on race. I am sure it will be a huge ratings booster for CBS and the biggest push to pit races of people in America against each other since the genocidal wars against the Plains Indians. The resulting effects on impressionable youth could be devastating.

I will be boycotting CBS.
