Current Events > CBS Says HALF of its REALITY Casts will be MINORITIES cause WHITES keep WINNING!

(+) Yeah! (+)

CBS announced today that it will diversify its Reality TV casts to at least 50% black, indigenous and people of colour as WHITE people have dominated in WINNING the shows!!

The pledge was made for future editions of Surivvor, Big Brother, Love Island and The Amazing RAce starting in the 2021-2022 season.

The network has been slammed for casting a mostly white cast as a fan petition urged the network to diversity and inclusitivity for its content after several Survivor and Big Brother contestants spoke out against lack of diversity

George Cheeks, president and ceo of CBS said "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"

Survivor Contestants, Sean Rector and Jolanda Jones formed a group called The Black Survivor Alliance with the goal of bringing light of implicit bias and racism on and off the show and had meetings with executive producer, Jeff Probst on more people of colour.

Black Contestants have longed been typecast on the show and have been known to be targeted early for elimination and are generally the sole minority on the tribe.

This past summer on Big Brother All Stars, all 3 black contestants were targeted early and banded together promising not to target each other...but in the end, all 3 were eliminated early as 2 white male contestants reigned in the end.

Big Brother is known to cast contestants who make racially charged jokes and the use of the n-word in past seasons

In fact, white males have dominated the shows and formed alliances early on which made it harder for minority and female contestants to compete

Survivor and Big Brother have been accused of favouring white players, particularly males as winners for years as they say execs see them as ratings winners.

Do you have a problem with the cast being half non-white?

neat

I'm sure all seven viewers of The Neighborhood and Mom will be happy about this progressive push towards equality.

I mean its not really "diverse" if you are just going to cast more then half the contestants as none whites, let's face it this will be mostly black, when white people make up over 60% of the population. Its a free contest though, not really their fault if mostly once race wins most of the time.

That's racist. Just stick to the demographics of the country.

Should be an interesting case study of internalized racism if white people still end up winning constantly.
