[quote=Anonymous]Another perspective that might show how these things are not always related to race. My kid is a pretty good swimmer but a very serious rock climber. At time trials, he laid down a fast time and he can meet that time or has been bettering it at A meets this season. But, he kept putting down a slower time at B meets because he has been spending 8 hours practicing with his rock climbing team on weekdays and his arms were spent on Wednesdays in a way that they weren’t on Saturdays. Then, we wouldn’t get picked for the A meet. We solved the problem by saying he was unavailable on Wednesdays for B meets so they didn’t pull down his time but we could also have talked to the coach to see if they would disregard his B meet time when considering who swims on Saturday. You might not know the circumstances of the other swimmer. What looks like racism to you might be a situation like this one that has nothing to do with race. [/quote]
