Hrmm. So Tony is the son of two Greek immigrants, are Greek people considered white? What is the cut off? European? So Spanish and Italian people are also White? What about Portuguese? Or Brazilians who immigrated from Portugal?

How much "non white" does one have to have in their ancestry to tip the scales to a POC? Or is this literally based on colour of skin? Because if so I honestly did not think Tony was "white" when I saw him on Survivor... I guess my view point is skewed.

There is also a case for the more engaging or 'likeable' people got more air time. Look at Bob Crowley, probably one of the most boring people to ever play Survivor and he is "White" and second last..
