Jews to Survivor: Oy Vey. Indians, Same Way

Sure, they might wander the desert for 40 years and completely miss their elimination challenge but if you're pitting ethnic tribes against each other on "Survivor," TMZ would like to know: Where, exactly, are the Jews? And whither the Native Americans?

Professional bigmouth Rush Limbaugh thinks that CBS left out Native Americans from the tribal makeup because they "would have an unfair advantage" against the other ethnic groups in the televised struggles on the Cook Islands.

On his syndicated radio show, Limbaugh said he has his early money on the Hispanic tribe, because, according to Rush, "these people have shown a remarkable ability ... [to] get anywhere they want to go. They can do it without water for a long time. They don't get apprehended, and they will do things other people won't do."

Exhibiting his usual equal-opportunity race-generalization, Rush thinks the Asians will "outsmart everybody" but that their survival skills are weak, and that the Whites will resort to any means necessary – spreading diseases, stealing property – to win. And Limbaugh takes a rather dim view of the African Americans, whose Achilles' heel he thinks will be – wait for it and shake your head – swimming.

16. 3. Every single African American person that has been on Survivor (as far as I can remember) has been scared of the water or unable to swim. I am just saying.........

Don't say it, because all you're doing is implying that it's true that all African American people can't swim. And that is just racist.

17. I heard what Rush said and it was said Tongue in Cheek! What is it with you morons? Harvey, what a jerk, you won’t let the Gibson thing go and now you start a bunch of crap about Rush, someone who didn’t hear what he said and just read what he said the way you interpreted is dishonest on your part and you know it. Keep Spinning Harvey and you won’t have the new show very long either.

18. Harvey,

I agree with Michael Forster -- Rush said all this tongue in cheek, and as usual it's taken out of context like it was all serious. Rush even picks up on what people like you do with his comments.

Why don't you just say that you HATE Rush to begin with, rather than act like you are "reporting" -- this isn't reporting, it's falsifying what someone says.

24. Rush's comemnts were totally Tongue in Cheek, but the left just have to make asses of themselves when they want to believe that Rush is an ass. He has 20,000,000 listeners to al Franklins 134 listeners. He's got nothing to worry about.

25. I know why Jews aren't part of the race division. JUDAISM IS NOT A RACE. it's a religion, jews come from all over the world. There are asian jews, there are african jews, there are hispanic jews. and yes, a lot are from eastern europe, however, it's not a race.

the whole idea of pitting races against each other was moronic in the first place, thanks for making it more moronic and ignorant, tmz.

27. i am an african american and i can swim, I was on my high school swim team but i am terrified of open water. i think that most african americans
stay away from the water is maybe subconsciously we remember
when the sailors on the slave ships would toss the slaves
into the ocean to collect insurance on their lost "cargo".
