Was the White Guy on Survivor a "Credit to His Race?"

Survivor: Cook Islands is supposed to be about race. The way the first episode was edited, though, the only one who played to a big negative racial stereotype was the white guy who took extra resources. I put together these clips to show you what I mean

yeah that is typical, white people can`t care about its race becus that is racist.

[bsnowman]

Of course the white people aren't going to pay attention to racial representation. Where these white people come from they don't get scrutinized for being white. It's called white privilege.

Racist is normal. Is a good thing. Fuck the world peace.

White people also are less likely to see being white as part of their identity.

Also, people will conform to arbitrary outgroup discrimination, race is just one aspect, eye colour and absolutely no basis at all can also trigger it.

white people should be proud of their nationality and race but shouldn't be proud of some bad things that some individuals did like slavery and crap like that

@Thedarksecret1 : It's call indoctrination. Whites are told that their ancestors were all evil bigots and mysogenyst. They're told that cohesion among Whites equals racism and their feelings of guilt make them reject it. This is especially true among liberals, many of whom feel more sympathy and concern for non-Whites than for other Whites like them.

[Thedarksecret1]

@OutOfTheBoxThinker Whites are more cohesive than you think. Other races are forced to be cohesive because the predominant white society, at least in the US, sees them all the same anyway.  Also, why would a show that is ran mostly by whites portray their own kind as evil oppressors?

[Thedarksecret1]

I can't believe that Survivor would even make it about race. This shows you that race is, and has always been, an issue worldwide. Survivor is trying to promote this Darwinian approach to a reality game show. Wow!

[OutOfTheBoxThinker]

Historically, Whites are less cohesive than other ethnic groups and thus less interested in the protection of their ethnic interests than other ethnic groups, however it's become a new tradition since a decade or two to portray White people as evil oppressors and other ethnic groups as victims of that oppression. As such, I have no doubts the images were manipulated to make Whites look worse than the other races.

many European countries have had to deal with being invaded... Greece, England, France, Poland, and many more but Africans are special because well they dint have the technology to at some point stop the invasion...

@bsnowman If I sell someone something for 50 dollars and then that person sells it to someone for 5,000 its not exploitations, its one person being stupid... but I suppose buying stuff from AFrica then selling to for a PROFIT is exploitation...

its racist to get a profit...

except for Northern AFrica all the Presidents of African countries are black?

the invasions of Poland go back way before colonization...
