'Freakshow TV' rebuked over racist portrayal of Amazon Indians - Survival International

 We're off to a good start to the new year! Australia's Federal Court has
rejected Channel 7's appeal over a show found guilty of the racist
portrayal of Amazon Indians, which played into the hands of
fundamentalist missionaries.

 

In
this scene of 'Amazon's Ancient Tribe', Paul Raffaele said a Suruwaha
girl refused to shake his hand because she wanted to kill him. In fact,
he was wearing so much sun cream the Suruwaha thought he had a skin
disease.
