Can CBS Stop "Double Dipping"

Jun 23, 2017 by __A__
I'm sick of CBS "double dipping" with minorities. For example, on Survivor KR rather than cast 3 individuals: one over 50, one gay, one Asian, they cast Tai who is all three then don't cast anyone else who fits those qualities.
Or on BB casting Ramses as gay/black and then casting 6 straight white men.
I'm all for casting LGBT contestants of different ethnicities but why can't they cast other people of color as well?
IDK just bothers me that the casts are so white all the time and it's apparently too much to have more than 2 minorities who would "check the same box"

I mean those two are examples but Game Changers had 3 gay men, two black women and two hispanics (also maybe Tony? idk what he is) so like there are also examples the other way. Same with Milenials vs. Gen X. Two gay men, a ton of minority women. Not much crossover there

adamsel I will say that Survivor is better than BB, especially recently, but still when you look at what percentage of a cast is "non-white" its pretty bad

__A__ I agree but part of me thinks there's just a ton more white applicants. But ya BB casting sucks

Josh is cuban but agree.  The race/ethnic diversity was better last season but I guess they traded that to have the cast more diverse by age :/

adamsel Tony's Greek, so white.

Survivor HAS been better, but Game Changers was a returnee season.
