The Amazing Race & Survivor?

Question

Have you seen the new casts for both shows?

Why is it that they always have just one black team on AR and on Survivor out of 18 players it's just 2 blacks?

Answer 1

I just always figured that when the applicants are screened, the producers choose the contestants by how interesting they will make the competition.  Race, color or creed should have nothing to with it.

Answer 2

I dont know why, but I love both shows!  

Answer 3

they mentioned that last year when they had the black team against the white team they divided all the teams up according to ethnicity.  they said the reason why they have only one or two people of color or black people is because they don't audition, they for the most part are not interested. the producers said it was difficult finding black people and other races who wanted to be a part of the show and who also qualified according to their standards whatever they are. just look up the archives of amazing race I don't remember what that seasons tittle was but they based the teams on race and they explain why there is never many if any people of color on the show.
