Throw them in the OP if you want.

If anyone else wants to see what they can kind, basic search strategy was "(blank) is too white" or "(blank)" "is too white" or "(blank) is unbearably white" or "(blank)" "unbearably white".

The White race is in war we cannot win by playing this game. We have nothing to lose by rebelling against the cancer of liberalism.

Olympic bobsledding - too white.

Funnily enough as far as I know the only film which examines the sport in any depth is Cool Runnings about -- of course -- a Jamaican bobsled team. I can watch anything with John Candy but even with that sport which is incredibly White and European the only thing people think of if they're reminded of the sport is some Blacks.

I was basically thinking of cool runnings when I wrote that. Its a good film! And he had a good idea - jamaicans are great sprinters.
