It's a no-win situation. A white person wins, and you're a racist. Black player wins, and it was rigged.

If he does that, I'll never watch another episode.

Ultimately an INDIVIDUAL is chosen as the winner, not a team, so this is really stupid.
He should have two teams of mixed races, sexes, educational levels and then see who emerges. It would be just as interesting.

Who is going to be the third vote on the panel, Omarosa?
To: gopwinsin04
Even Trump wouldn't dare pull this stupid stunt.

how about left handers vs right handers, or repubs vs democrats, or blonds vs brunettes, seniors vs teens.

Didn't PBS already do this back in the 1970's? (not to mention Wife Swap recently)
To: gopwinsin04
Whether people like that or not, it would be somewhat reflective of our world,
not as a percentage of population....

That would be brilliant! GOP vs. Dims (although probably not much of a contest) or Blondes vs. Brunettes.

Where will Trump place the Mexican?
If he robs a white guy the feds consider him White / majority.
If the Mexican is robed by a black he is considered black / minority.

Consider this.
Typically they have token blacks. One or two per show. If this happens they get 50% of the contestants.
It's the other minorities that have a complaint if this happens>

That's a question for 'the racial draft' on the Chappelle show...
To: cyborg
Rob Burnett could possibly defend against the racism charge by putting Omarosa in as the permanent third judge, although NBC will still take a massive PR hit.
