Media people like to say "Multiracial athletes like Naomi Osaka and Rui Hachimura are helping to redefine what it means to be Japanese", but somehow they never get around to making the equally valid claim that they are redefining what it means to be black. Funny how that is.

There's another level of irony when it comes to pushing multiculturalism.

If every country becomes "diverse", why do we even need an Olympics? If we can find Africans, Indians, Europeans, Hispanics, Asians etc in every country, then flying them over for a global event becomes pointless. Every team would look the exact same.

An irony probably soon followed by that of the fastest sprinters still being blacks "from" various countries, the best weightlifters still being whites "from" various countries, etc. The "diversity" would just make racial differences more salient.
