I also experienced it there years back.
One bastard walked past me and mumbled vulgarities.

1. Suppose the child in question is white.
2. The judge is supposed to award each medal based on name stuck on the medal.
3. Suppose because of mix up the poor girl is left out.
If the girl is white, it is a careless mistake.he
But because the girl is black it becomes racism.
But people have could have jumped into conclusions.
And often it is this type of quick to accuse attitude that worsen the divide and fuel hatred. ....
I remember the black lives matter movement. Everytime some tragedy involve a black person and the police, they always play the racism card causing riots looting hatred.
Truth and facts matter and has to be given a chance to emerge.

Different treatment for Asians, so racist.

After the apology did they made amend by offering the young gymnast a belated medal and monetary compensation. From the video the young black gymnast was smiling, expecting to receive the medal but each time was disappointed when the officials turn to the left, right and back to hang the medals round the neck of the other gymnasts as if the young black gymnast was transparent. The two officials need to be censured for such racist behaviour.
