While people here are still arguing the new Survivor season is appropriate to be on TV, our only local TV station has already decided to go ahead and air it. In US, there are people not wanting stations to show it on TV.
Quote from one reader (country and people references have been removed, XXX):
"In a multiracial city that owes its peace and prosperity to good relations among the various races, XXX cannot allow the mass media to condone divisions along ethnic lines in the name of entertainment.
Airing the show is a blatant disregard of social sensitivities post-9/11, and it undermines the government's efforts at bringing XXX closer as one people.
If XXX walk away with the idea that it is all right to assess one's physical and mental abilities on the basis of their race, that it is all right for one race to feel superior to another because it wins in the challenges, that members of one race feel like they are losers because of the colour of their skin, then we have indeed not matured as a people and not learnt the painful lessons of the past."
