The next installment of the reality show "Survivor" plans to divide their contestnats into racial teams. That's right. We'll get to see which is the best race at...surviving. A wonderful little eugenics experiment.

This idea is atrocious. Not only does it reinforce the idea that race is something remotely tangible, but it encourages social discrimination within the little "community" and competition between races. So what, you may say? It's just a ridiculous reality show. The problem is that this confirms to people, albeit in an amusing but perhaps more effective way, that the social division of "race" is normal and acceptable. It's not. Thank you "Survivor", for not just maintaining the status quo, but giving it an injection of adrenaline. I for one am glad to finally find out which race is best - then I can plan to make friends with them for the coming Apocalypse.
