Survivor 13: Spics vs. Chinks???

How is separation along ethnic lines more offensive than separation along gender lines?

I'll watch anyway. I'm hoping there will be some hot medics with Kiwi accents.

These are both excellent points. Babette's post reminded me of a Chappelle show sketch where he says that anyone who watches reality TV would think that black people are crazy, because they stick one black guy in with the craziest white people they can find and the black guy goes nuts. So in Chappelle's sketch they stuck one white guy in with the craziest black people they could create...pretty damn funny.
