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.

      You assume racists think that far. They love to spite black people and if they can humiliate them in front of cameras even better. They can always claim later they “forgot”

      Maybe. Like, to make a point. Also, to me and you probably a racist mind is a bit of an enigma. In anycase, I’d put the focus more on the girl(s) that on the perpetrator. Of course the judge can’t do much on that regard, but Institutions, government, and the likes should. Same applies to us.
