Mr. Harvey,
First let me tell you what a true fan I am of you. I can't tell you how often you make me laugh, even when I'm in the middle of an at home workout and am kinda miserable. You make watching enjoyable, and I'm pretty sure you'd be pleased to know you bring that kind of happiness to so many people.
I'm not writing this to start conflict because believe me, Family Fued is one of my favorite shows to watch. I guess I'm just curious and was wondering if you could help clear the air.
I am genuinely eager to know as to why you always have different races go against one another. In my extended family, we are very mixed. White, Black, Chinese, and I wonder if any of us would ever even get to go on Family Fued-not because of it being an overly popular show that everyone wants a chance to go on, but because we aren't all white, all black, all Asian, all Indian, etc.
I hate hearing-
The black team lost.
The Asians won.
The Asians lost.
The white team won.
The black team won.
The white team lost.
You get my point.
If I went on the show, I want people to say, the WILSON'S won (or lost but I would hope to win obviously). I don't want to hear: "Oh that team of mixed people won." We aren't mixed, we're a family with different skin color, but why should that be what identifies us?
I'm sure a lot of people will say I'm finding something to complain over, and please understand those aren't my intentions. I'm just hoping to get answers-if not from you-from anyone as to why it's normally, always-white vs. black.
Maybe it's out of your control, and maybe it's something you've never even thought of before. Regardless of the two, take a second to think about it. Take a day, a month, a year, or forever, I don't care. Just actually think about what it says.
Doesn't it say these families are feuding against one another?
Haven't whites vs. black done this enough in the past?
I really want to live in a world where our skin colors don't define us, and with a show like yours-one that I so deeply, truly, love, I had to tell you.
I'd like to see two white families up there duking it out. Change up the game a little bit, that way the world doesn't always see a white vs black competition.
Then let's get a family of a white mom, black dad, mixed kids and an adopted Chinese brother in there. Whatever, let's just stop relying so much on the looks to separate us.
I'm a relatively competitive girl, and I need for everyone to understand-no matter what race, religion, sexual identity you roll with, I will still try to take you down..
In all serious Mr. Harvey,
I'm proud of my diverse family. We all have a lot of strengths that I think could make your game pretty interesting. But would a family of mixed people ever be allowed to play? How would it work?
I hope, Mr. Harvey, that you consider changing the rules because I think you'd be surprised with the families out there who are waiting to kick ass on your show.
*cough cough*.
