Survivor's $1M Game: Playing the Race Card

Survivor producer Mark Burnett is playing a really game.  Apparently, the producers have decided to divide the "tribes"--which are pitted against each other--by race.  Now, I am not a Survivor watcher, and this stunt won't turn me into one--but I think it's a shame that in 2006 it's okay to make a profit off of racial discord and the possibility that bigot in someone comes out.
