I don't think that is a fair or accurate statement at all, especially if you are referring mainly to the black contestants.
In fact it breaks down like this:
Survivor 1
First Person voted off - Sonja - White Woman - 63
Black contestants
Ramona - Voted off 4th
Gervase - Voted off 10th
Survivor 2
First Person voted off - Deb - White woman - 45
Black contestants
Alicia - Voted off 8th
Nick - Voted off 10th
Survivor 3
First Person voted off - Diane -White woman - 42
Black contestants
Clarence - Voted off 7th
Survivor 4
First Person voted off - Peter - White man - 45
Black contestants
Sean - Voted off 12th
Vecepia - Not Voted off - won 1,000,000
Survivor 5
First Person voted off - John - Whit man - 40
Black Contestants
Ghandia - Voted off 4th
Ted - Voted off 12th
Survivor 6
First Person voted off - Ryan - White man - 23
Black Contestant
Joanna - Voted out 4th
Survivor 7
First Person voted off - Nicole - White woman - 24
Black Contestants
Osten - Quits 7th
Tijuana - Voted out 11th
Survivor 8 (allstar)
First Person voted off Tina - White woman - 42
Black Contestant
Alicia - Voted off 12th
Survivor 9
First Person voted off - Brook - White man - 27
Black Contestant
Rory - Voted out 8th
Survivor 10
First Person voted off - Jolanda - Black woman -39
Black Contestants
Jolanda - Voted out 1st
Ibrehem - Voted out 7th
Survivor 11
First Person voted off - Jim - White man - 63
No Black Contestans
So while it is true that a majority (63%) of the 1st person voted off are over 40 (although that is hardly "old"), only
one black contestant was voted out first, and a good portion of them going at least halfway or better.
