Survivor 13: Spics vs. Chinks???

I agree to some extent. But then I also believe that some experiments are unethical.

And others are just stupid.

With some of the other splits they've done (young vs. old; men vs. women) I can see a hook for some good natured rootings for "your side." Hard for me to see the good natured rooting for or against somebody because they're Asian.

It also perpetuates the fallacy that a Japanese person would want to root for a Korean simply because they're also Asian. Or that there is some form of affinity between the white guy of Russian extraction and the white Greek guy.
