The National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) said Tuesday that while it opposes the concept of “Survivor’s” upcoming season — dividing up teams according to race — it will reserve judgment until the reality-TV show actually airs.
“Concerning the new season of ‘Survivor,’ whether we like the concept or not — and for the record, we do not — it is premature to judge the show purely on conjecture,” the organization said Tuesday. “We will judge the show on what we see, and we will monitor the public response.”
“Survivor: Cook Islands,” which premieres at 8 p.m. Thursday on CBS, has received a lot of attention since last month’s announcement that the 20 contestants would be divided along racial lines into four tribes: black, white, Hispanic and Asian.
