CBS Vows to Make Cast of ‘Survivor,’ ‘Big Brother’ 50 Percent Non-White
Breitbart ^ | 10 Nov 2020 | WARNER TODD HUSTON

Posted on 11/10/2020 5:14:28 PM PST by conservative98

CBS has announced that at least half the cast of the popular and long running reality game shows, including Survivor and Big Brother, will be made up of nonwhite contestants.

“The reality TV genre is an area that’s especially underrepresented, and needs to be more inclusive across development, casting, production and all phases of storytelling,” George Cheeks, president and chief executive officer for the CBS Entertainment Group, said in a statement. “As we strive to improve all of these creative aspects, the commitments announced today are important first steps in sourcing new voices to create content and further expanding the diversity in our unscripted programming, as well as on our network.”

The network made a pledge on Monday that half of future casts will be made up of blacks, indigenous, or other people of color, according to Entertainment Weekly. The network is also applying the new casting rule to its other reality game show Love Island.

The change in hiring comes on the tail of charges from a group of contestants who claim that Survivor and producer Jeff Probst are biased in favor of white players. The group, calling itself the Black Survivor Alliance, aimed to bring “light to our collective experience with implicit bias and racism on and off the show.”

America would be well served by focusing on good vs evil instead of skin color.

“Whoop de whoop. Does that really mean anything? What am I missing?”

The 19,239th example of successful bullying by the politically correct thought police. Not really “news”.

I haven’t watched Survivor since the first season in 2000; however, this hate for white people and particularly old white men needs to stop. Cut the racist crap!

This year they had 4 black people.

One was Black/Asian Male
One was Black Male
Two Black Females.

The two males are not speaking to the black female because

1. She called one of them an Uncle Tom
2. She didn’t think Black/Asian is black enough

They are going to want to vote in a Black Group and it wont go over well.

That Bobbie Jo on Petticoat Junction was a whole lot easier on the eyes than a multicultural cast. Entertainment used to be so much simpler, basic and damn good looking.

Ridiculous Burnett.

Whatever happened to the best, strongest people?

Watch your ratings being flushed away.

There was an old white guy who made the ratings shoot up.

It was a few years ago so I can’t remember the man’s name.
