AP Portrays Olympics as All About Race

There seems to be no shortage of anti-American moonbats on the USA Winter Olympics team. But the key issue for liberals could be whether there are still too many white people.

Laments AP in a piece from last month that almost slipped past:

People of color fill the rosters for non-traditional winter sports nations like Jamaica but most of the dominant teams from European powers — and, to be fair, the U.S. as well — are almost entirely white.

But there is hope. The US women’s bobsled team is predominantly black.

As with most everything, it’s all about race — specifically, promoting every other race versus the core European population that created the USA.

Bobsledder Elana Meyers Taylor is a five-time Olympic medalist and is the most decorated Black athlete in Winter Games history. Kaysha Love is the reigning world champion in monobob, making her the first Black woman to hold that title. Speedskater Erin Jackson, who in 2022 became the first Black woman to win Olympic winter gold in an individual sport, is back for more in 2026. Laila Edwards is a rising star of the powerhouse U.S. women’s hockey team and will be the first Black woman to wear the American sweater on the Olympic stage.

“It’s a really big deal,” Edwards said when the roster was unveiled. “Representation matters.”

That is, representation of her nonwhite race matters, as opposed to representation of her country.

Fortunately for Jamaicans, they don’t have to worry about finding token whites for their bobsled team so as to implement diversity.
