Would you also push for changing the name of the show to "Island" and to call ex-tribe "Team"?
larry david did a funny bit about "survivor" on curb your enthusiasm.
tbh, im not crazy about them using the word tribe. but that's a losing battle. and a lot of people on native twitter don't like white culture using the word tribe. but it's mixed. a lot of indigenous people are fine with people using the word "tribe"
im gonna make a guess that you have little/no experience with indigenous culture and have no idea what the word tribe means to us, and how we feel when white people use it who have no understanding of the history of the word.
i mean you should at least try to understand what it means to people who are harmed by the word, and why they are harmed, right?
but yeah getting rid of calling women "guys" is much more clear cut, and i'd think it'd be obvious to everyone. but i guess not lol
