I think I'll wait on Survivor. It's gonna be hecka homophobic. We'll see about the racism.

Couldn't find anything on Primeval (BBC)

My questions are:

1. Do we just simply accept accusations of racism as true? Or is there some criteria (author credentials, volume of posts talking about a show, etc.)?
2. Does there need to be a number or percentage of episodes that are considered racist for it to taint the entire series? Despite the joke above, TNG did have episodes like "Code of Honor" and "Journey's End" which sloppily (insultingly?) depicted Africans and Native Americans respectively.

It's been my experiences that the "everything is racist" crowd is likely to consider any evidence of possible racism an excuse to dismiss the whole show, and that accusations (of any kind, really) tend to be treated as the gospel truth.

Just like Chubby Brown said about Islam:

"Islam is exactly like the KKK, it just uses a different colour sheet......!!! lol!!! As they say, a lot of truth can be heard in jokes.

Or how about Bernard Manning and his joke "Iraqi women are so ugly, they have to get their vibrators pissed....."

I don't know what survivor is but there's a YouTube video titled survivor top 5 racist moments.

Another one that could be considered racist because he has a go at Irish and some blacks, but nothing too extreme. A laugh from start to finish:

Yeh but this is more a thread talking about this challenge, and tv shows where you're surprised there's an accusation of racism.

All you've done there is put a video up of a guy who's fairly obviously going to be accused of racism.
I live not too far from the Bernard manning social club if it's actually still standing in Moston.
He pretty much made his living telling jokes based on racial stereotypes.

But it is racist, don't you realize? The hunt for primeval species. What about their rights?

Honestly, this thread was a pissing contest from the get go and it hasn't got any better.

I typed "Bottom racist" and the TV show didn't even come up. Because "bottom" is such a common word.

Because I followed the rules of your game and because nothing came up about my show I win anyways because loophole and because I play to win within the rules
