Video of the event in March 2022 shows a judge handing out medals for participation to a line of young gymnasts, but ignoring the only black girl. A photographer, coach and other officials fail to intervene. A mediation settlement reached with the family involved the judge taking anti-racism training.
That’s systemic racism. The judge probably didn’t get up and thought “let’s not give a medal to the black kid”. She just passively didn’t perceive her as someone that would be worthy to get a medal or that should be noted.
“Probably” 🙄
