I'm kinda with Willsfan about Flicka. My first impression when Flicka lifted the box, especially with the way she did it, made me think she did it on purpose.

Yep, I agree with Willsfan. The truth will come out sooner or later when she has to admit she is a vegan.

Am I wrong to think that, if and when people think of their ethnicity at all, blacks and whites (who come from generations of American births, I guess) think of themselves as blacks and whites; The Asians and the Latinos think of themselves more as koreans or Veitnamese or Chinese or cuban or Puerto rican or columbian etc etc etc ???

Well Jan that's only here in America where some? most? black folk think of themselves as black folk. African's think of themselves as African or say if they're from a particular tribe like the Yoruba or Zulu, etc. And I think Hatian's think of themselves as Hatian, and etc for caribbean countries but again I'm not totally sure on that one.

Thanks for the spoiling, of course, again, my VCR screwed up, and I only got three minutes at the beginning of the show. I'm just hoping that somewhere there'll be a place to watch it on the net - and not like Innertube, which would never work for me!

Mocha , yeah I think that is why - most white and black people on reality shows have, I think , been in America for many many many generations and so just think of themselves as black or white americans.

Not so true for the large part of the Asian and latino community ( well except for the many Mexicans who were in America prior to America becoming America!!!!!)

In canada, we have many caribbean black and I think they do associate themselves more with their island of origin. We have lots of asians as well and I think they associate themselves with their country of origin. But a large portion of both groups have only been here for a few generations.

But black american families have been in America longer than a large portion of the white families since a great many of them came in the 1600's!

I guess it is like the division of french and english canadians - most french families like my dad's can trace their ancestors in canada back to the 1600's. My mother's english side can only trace back a few generations. :-):-)

and the French minority here also had to fight to not be treated as second class citizens.

ETA: Happy Anniversary, Littleladym :-):-):-)

Two questions about race:
1. Are pacific islanders considered asian?
2. Are all (american) black people considered African American?

just wanted to say that Flicka is from my home town, she is a vegetarian but she started eating meat about a month befor leaving to go on the show to prepare her self for what ever may come..I have no pre-feelings about her but just thought that id share that info because our local newspaper has a whole section dedicated to her...I doubt that she did it on purpose..but then again, who knows.

I wondered that Julieboo. There were a couple of Phillipinos in the Asian Group and I would never have referred to Phillipinos as Asians. Maybe technically they are.

IMO you should only be "African American" if you are an African citizen who has become an American citizen. If you've never been to Africa, your parents have never been to Africa, your grandparents have never been to Africa and so on how can you be African American? Aren't you just American?

I'm French, English, German, Irish, American Indian and who knows what else but #1 I am an American and only an American and damn proud to be one.

I agree that black people who are born in Amecia is American, Not African American, Just one small question which I hope no one gets defensive about because I don't mean anything about it. I can never understand why AA men wear like a tirbune around their heads or is it gang related or have something to do with religion.

I think the Filipinos are considered asian because I thought the philipine Islands belonged to the Asian continent, but I might be wrong about that. The "asian" team has the most potential for cultural conflict because the cultures in that group are all extremely different.

Chillwill, I think it is a matter of pride and identity to not let go of the fact that since the 1600s until the end of the slave trade the majority of Blacks started out in Africa and then were moved because of slave trade. (not all of course)

Are the tribes on different islands? Or the same island, different beaches?

I would love it if the Asian Tribe woke up to the chickens standing there.

LOL, Biloxi, now that would indeed be "karma, the bizzle".

My jury is still out on the racial seperation of the tribes, but I did thoroughly enjoy the show Thursday.

We didn't get to see too much of the white team yet, but like so many here, I gravitate towards the Asians, mainly because of Cao Boi, I guess. Interesting character.

As a fave female, so far it's Rebecca from the black tribe. She strikes me as the no nonsense type, who had Sekou's number rather quickly. Dropping him was a good decision on their part, imo. Mr. I-Need-a-Break may be big, but somehow I suspect that that bulk was not mainly muscle. Combined with his "resting" need, I doubt that he would be all *that* much help in competitions. His whole attitude would have been sure to create plenty of discord in the tribe as well. Talking big without delivering got him the boot.
They better hang on to the other fella, though. Now there is a nice lookin' and probably *useful* muscle package.

As to Jeff Probst letting the white team know that they were screwing up, not fair imo. If he had kept his play-byplay to what the teams were *doing* rather than what they *should* be doing, Sekou would have had a reprieve.

Sheilaree, far from being knowledgable about AA culture, I do believe the bandana thing is more a matter of style and probably necessity (sunburn on a bald spot is very painful) than anything else.

As someone who has lived in the Philippines, I can confidently say that yes, Filipinos are Asian. Their history obviously has a very rich Spanish influence, but the country is in Asia.
