Does anyone watch Survivor? I told you I watch a lot of TV.....first I was talking about So You Think You Can Dance and now Survivor haha. Anyways, for those of you who don't watch it, it's this show where 15 or so people get dropped off on an island and have to survive for 30 days, I think it is. They are separated into teams and compete in challenges every week. The losing team has to vote off one of their team members. Now, this season, the producers decided to separate the people based on race, as a kind of social experiment. At first, I thought this would be a bad idea, as it might lead people to make stereotypes about the groups. As the game progressed though, the players made alliances with people outside of their original teams, and some players said that they worked hard to change people's stereotypes of their groups. The players said that in the end, they bonded with people who had the same objectives in the game overall, not because of their race, and that stereotypes aren't fair. One Mexican man, Ozzy, had said that he was trying to overcome some stereotypes people had about Latin people by working hard to be a provider for his teams. It's great that he worked hard, but the thing is, he shouldn't have had to overcome a general opinion about Mexicans in the first place. Stereotypes aren't fair, as all people, no matter what race, have different personalities and traits, which can't be generalized. I think that this Survivor taught people many lessons other than how to survive in the wild.
