survivor cast members do the chink-eye
Oh, hell no. I haven't been keeping up with the current season of Survivor, but check out this recently uploaded "secret scene" from the CBS reality show, in which cast members Colton Cumbie and Alicia Rosa make a crazy racist gesture towards another cast member they don't particularly care for. Yup, you all know and love it. They give her the chink-eye:
And yes, the gesture was directed at an Asian American cast member, Christina Cha. They've made it clear that they dislike her and want her kicked off. According to Colton, "She drives me insane. I hate her voice. I hate her face. I hate everything about her." Tell us what you really think.
Like I said, I haven't been watching the show, but I just read over the recap of the last episode, it's pretty clear that these two hate Christina's guts. So making fun of the fact that she's Asian? Not surprising. Classy.
So was I sad to hear that Colton had to leave the game when he was diagnosed with acute appendicitis? Not so much. Nor was I too sympathetic about Alicia -- who, by the way, is apparently a special ed teacher -- losing her strategy buddy. She'll have to find someone else to make racist faces with. (Thanks, Cindy.)
