[quote=Anonymous]I saw this same thing happen years ago at a soccer tournament. DD's elementary school aged team had finished 2nd and was getting their medals put on. But you could see as they were approaching the end of the line the tournament staff realized they didn't have enough medals for everyone. So they deliberately skipped over the Asian girl and gave the 2 or 3 remaining medals to the white girls next in the line up.

DD's soccer coach IMMEDIATELY approached the tournament staff and said loudly "Where is Larla's medal?" In the meantime one girl went over to Larla and gave her her medal, saying "Larla scored a goal, she can have my medal."  The staff tried to explain quietly the situation but the coach had none of that. She turned to the team and said "They don't have enough medals for everyone, what do you want to do?" And the girls one by one started taking their medals off silently and handing them back. I'll never forget that. (The tournament ended up mailing a box of medals to the team a couple of weeks later.)[/quote]
