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.
