^^^Good for you man. It's harder to get into the UC schools since they dropped the affirmative action programs. As a consequence, the UC schools are far less diverse than they were before. You go represent and don't ever forget where you came from.

My mom dropped out of Garfield H.S. because she had to work, my dad had to drop out of college because he had to work. And in my mom's side, I was the first to go to college. Naaah man, it's about realizing that there is more to life than livin in poverty. Slowly people are realizing this.

Any every set of parents I know stressed the importance of a solid education. For the simple reason that they didn't want their kids do do what their parents did.

Management, is just a side effect of the top 3. You get used to working hard, studing hard, and playing in team sports. That just comes naturally if the individual is ambitious.
there are always exceptions. =)

hey don't it the wrong way, those are generalizations and stero-types with a hint of truth. but it's mostly said to poke fun of the situation.

I'm not trying to bite your head off, but the statements made remind me of the late great Reggie White when he spoke in the Wisconsin state congress and started rambling about the great qualities that each race has. I know his intentions were noble, I don't think he meant anything wrong by it, but I think his logic was maligned and lacked substance and socio-economic research.

What do they do about ethnically diverse peoples? Say for instance Russian/Japanese/Jewish people? Would they cut that team by three people since three ethnic backgrounds are represented?

HENCE: "generalizations and stero-types with a hint of truth. but it's mostly said to poke fun of the situation."

not saying blacks will win because they're more capable of manual labor and that whites will lose because no one will want to work, everyone wants to be top dog.

it's humor. not sociology.

Not a race, unless you're having a conversation with Adolf. It's an Ethnicity for sure.

I consider myself to be quite open-minded and have a good sense of humor. However, I didn't get your joke. Maybe others will, fine.

But this adds to my frusturation of the actual topic at hand . . . There are going to be a lot of confused, or angry individuals either participating or spectating Survivor because Race is a very sensitive subject. What happens when teams get comfortable with another, what happens if the N word is dropped? What happens when a white guys says, "Nigga" as opposed to "Nigger." Or what happens if one of the Latinos is called a wetback or regarded as a good swimmer for hahahaha border control reasons. Is that funny? You see where I'm going with this? Just because we can share humor, doesn't mean that all of us are going to find everything funny.

I think this show is treading into a very delicate and highly volatile situation. I just hope people of all color can laugh at it in the end.

I can see all sorts of scenarios where people will throw shoes at their T.V.'s I mean, how the hell can you remain PC in this sort of situation?

Yeah #2, the ratings might go through the roof due to the contoversy.
