Do better, people.
I have experienced this as an adult and it stings. I cannot imagine hoz this poor child must have felt.

Its awful and this is why we choose to not live in areas where my child (mixed) may be the only POC. Everyone involved saw what was happening and no one said anything. Its bad enough that the medal-giver was racist and a b*^&% but she had complicit support from everyone in that audience as well.

Nobody in the audience did anything. The photographer kept taking pictures. Lots of adults around and not one spoke up for the child.
Poor thing kept smiling, sighing; stepping out to see if her medal was coming yet!

Correct, which is why I said the adult aka medal-giver had the complicit support of the audience because they allowed her to do that without stepping in or advocating for the child.

I’m also a mom of a POC child and we live in a predominantly white area. This kind of stuff happens quite often. People have implicit bias and sometimes they don’t even realize the discrimination they are engaging in.

Apology issued. Shame it took public posting and six months to get it.

I just don’t get it. She is just a child who is on the podium with other children waiting for medals, what sort of sick person does this?

I can’t wrap my head around this, was this planned, deliberate or was the medal giver a complete idiot?

Complete idiot. The girl did receive a medal before leaving the floor.
