Rebeca Andrade, Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles capped an exhilarating gymnastics meet at the Paris Olympics with a first, as the trio stood on the podium together for the floor exercise.

They’re the first three Black gymnasts to share the top three spots in an Olympics — a feat that also occurred at last year's world championships, when Biles and Andrade shared the podium with Shilese Jones in the individual all-around.

Are Brazilians considered black?

Do they consider themselves black?

What are the Aztecs, Mayans, and Incan’s considered? Thought they were, more or less, considers Indians.

Brazilians speak Portuguese. Is that considered a language from a “black locale”?

With NPR and the Left, everything is about race.
People and organizations like this who are obsessed with race and see race in everybody and everything are quite properly identified as racists ... but I bet the racists at NPR would not agree ... their "good intentions" make everything right, you see.

I am sick to death of this first “fill in the blank” BS. It never ever ends.

I watched the entire competition. (My lib brother is here and insisted.) I saw 3 beautiful women excel in their routines and came in gold, silver, and bronze. Not once did I think about their racial profile. Leave it to NPR. Just sayin’.

Ok. So we’re not going to talk about privilege anymore, right? Right?

SO, they are American women? STOP obsessing over race. Be proud of their accomplishments. The whole race thing is just a tool in the communists tool bag.

Rebecca Andrade is not African black, she’s pretty typical of dark skin Brazilian or Central American. How insulting to label her like that, just to lump her in with black Americans, so dehumanizing.

More African slaves were sent to Brazil than to the United States.

And that’s a completely different conversation that we can never have. In the grand scheme of things, just how much did the US participate in the slave trade compared to other countries.

But still, does that girl from Brazil consider hereself black? She doesn’t look black? What does family think?

Nothing but indoctrination

I don’t care what color gymnasts are ...

I only care about their skill.

Blacks are always identified by their race. I guess they like it that way.
