In a recent Washington Post article author Mike Wise opines the winter Olympics are an international assembly of white people and compares the athletic contest to “the inside of a snow globe”.
Apparently the absence of black athletes is due to institutional racism. Perhaps it’s time the Eric Holder DOJ rules of “disparate impact” are applied to Olympic athletics to insure more black people don skis, skates and snowboards equitably.

Perhaps Olympic medals should be divided and shared; after all, at some point, you’ve just got to reach the conclusion whitey has earned enough medals. Heck, why go through all the pesky mathematical formulations to insure statistical representative appropriateness – perhaps the IOC could just appoint medals based on the same qualifications of Peace Prizes, or something.
The ridiculous diatribe actually published in the Washington Post is absurd beyond an imaginable magnitude; but what the heck, why let athletics out of the race-baiting equation. (more…)
