On Thursday, U.S.gymnast Gabby Douglas won the All Around Gold Medal and the NBC commentator rushed to inject race into her win; proclaiming her the first "African-American" to win this event as if her race would hinder her ability to win. Call me confused but I thought she competed as an "American". Even Fox News picked up on the African-American theme and touted it. Apparently we must now also divide our Olympic athletes along racial lines. Seems to me that amounts to racial discrimination.
