[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gu is basically a traitor.  If she hasn’t given up her US citizenship, it should be revoked.[/quote]

Please stop use, wear, eat, or touch anything made in China.  Including the free covid test kits and KN95 masks the government purchased and imported from China, using your tax dollar.
Please throw away your iphone, ipad, your laptop, your TV immediately.  Please where your shoes, socks, and underwear were made.

What does using products from another country have to do with someone getting citizenship in another country to compete for them in the Olympics?[/quote]

There are a lots of athletes who are us citizens represent other countries.  No one asks other athletes to give up there us citizenship.  Why Gu?  
People claim that she supports a dictatorship, but we all do.  Buying everything from China enables its government  to slave its citizens, to bully other countries, to seize freedoms in HK.  Soon it may invade Taiwan.  [/quote]

I think there are subtle racisms at play.[/quote]

I have no doubt racism is at play.

Just look at Chloe Kim: https://people.com/sports/chloe-kim-says-she-gets-hundreds-of-racist-messages-monthly-opens-up-about-anti-asian-attacks/

Here's a quote:

"People belittled my accomplishment because I was Asian," Kim said. "There were messages in my DMs telling me to go back to China and to stop taking medals away from the white American girls on the team. I was so proud of my accomplishment, but instead I was sobbing in bed next to my mom, asking her, 'Why are people being so mean because I'm Asian?'"

She gets dozens of racist messages a day, and she's been getting them since she was 13.  She's been winning golds for the USA, and yet she feels she needs to walk around with tasers, pepper spray and a knife.

The same racism that makes Chloe Kim fear for her safety is the same racism that's magnifying the backlash against Gu.

Reminds me of when Stephen Smith said it was bad for Ohtani to be the face of baseball: https://twitter.com/arashmarkazi/status/1414645250581090304?lang=en

A lot of people in America do not like seeing Asians or Asian Americans succeed, and they are nasty about it.[/quote]

And New York Times recently argued that Asians are over-presented in figure skating, right before Nathan Chan got the Gold medal.

The messages to Chloe Kim are terrible!

I don't understand the backlash over the NYT article.  Why it is offensive to say Asian Americans are over-represented in figure skating if that is indeed a factual statement? It is the same thing as if someone said Black Americans are overrepresented in the NFL or Male Americans are over-represented in technology companies or Elderly Americans are over-represented in the Presidency.

How should it be worded appropriately to say that a certain group holds proportion of the group that is more than what is seen in the general population? [/quote]
