The typical stereotype

Why is it that the most irrelevant, pointless pieces of information always become news? After most news broadcasts or clips I see while looking for something worth while in the news, my eyes bleed thinking I won’t ever get that time back. It’s my duty in turn to mock it. The scandal du jour is the TV show Survivor segregating (Am I allowed to use that word?) it’s tribes by race. They are, in no particular order: Black, Asian, Latino and Caucasian. On the surface I said, “Gosh, what’s less important than this? The Olsen twins?” I thought about it though. This completely changes the game as far as the odds makers are concerned. How will the gaming houses factor in the racial profile of the tribes into their odds. How are gamblers suppose to pick the winner since we’ve all learned not to judge people on appearances? Leave it to my shallow nature to lend some insight into this problem. Here is what I think will happen and who the smart money is on.

The Black tribe will come in to the competition under rated but ultimately won’t prevail. The assumption will be that their roots in the African bush may help them in the wild of the Cook Islands but too many years behind Jesse Jackson will have this tribe complaining about representation to the producers over poor living conditions.

The Caucasian tribe will flounder from the outset because of the lack of a Latino landscaping crew to care for the makeshift country club they erect on the island in an attempt to raise their self image.

The Asian tribe will come in a close second due to the heightened discipline level and exceptionally engineered shelter to protect them from the elements.

The Latino tribe is where the smart money is. Like the other tribes, five Latinos are dropped on the island but eight show up at the first challenge giving the tribe strength of numbers. Also, the strong background in agriculture will give them an advantage in farming food to sustain their growing numbers thus steam rolling the competition.
