Race War Coming to CBS

I'm still having a hard time believing what I heard on Rush's show this morning. The popular Survivor series on CBS is getting ready to open their new season, and this year they are purposely pitting four races against each other:
In just a couple of weeks, the new season of "Survivor" takes 20 castaways to the Cook Islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

They will be split into four tribes, but how they will do that is guaranteed to be a talking point. For the 13th installment of the series, producers have yet another controversial way to begin the game: 20 people, four tribes — each divided by race.

The four "tribes" will be African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Hispanics, and Whites (I guess the Native Americans didn't make the cut). Can you imagine if the Fox News Channel had come up with this idea? The outrage would be HUGE.

In a society where we're all told that we shouldn't consider race when looking at other people, it's a little hard to believe that anyone at CBS could consider this a good idea. How much political correctness will end up being a part of this season's show?

I'm proud to say I've never watched a single episode, and don't plan to start now. However, I will make a prediction. The Hispanics will win. Why? They'll do the challenges that the other tribes just won't do.
