The Associated Press (AP) accused several European nations competing in the Winter Olympics of having a lack of diversity on their teams, claiming they are “overwhelmingly white.”
In an article from the AP, the outlet highlighted how “immigration from Africa and the Middle East has transformed the demographics of Europe in recent decades.” The outlet also noted that while the United States was “sending one of its most diverse teams,” the team rosters for countries such as France, Germany, and Switzerland “look a lot like Sweden’s: overwhelmingly white and lacking the immigrant representation.”
“At the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, Sweden is sending a team made up almost exclusively of ethnically Swedish athletes, with NHL player Mika Zibanejad, whose father is from Iran, a rare exception,” the AP wrote. “That hardly reflects the diversity of the Nordic country: About 2 million of its 10 million residents were born abroad, about half of them in Asia or Africa, according to national statistics agency SCB.”
The AP article continued in part:
"The lack of athletes of color at the Winter Olympics — and in winter sports in general — has been a recurring theme in the U.S., which is sending one of its most diverse teams to the Games. It hasn’t gotten the same attention in Europe.
The Olympic rosters of France, Germany, Switzerland and other European winter sports nations look a lot like Sweden’s: overwhelmingly white and lacking the immigrant representation seen in their soccer or basketball teams."

“The U.S. is not alone in grappling with diversity in winter sports,” the AP wrote in a post on X, which included a video. “In Europe, immigration from Africa and the Middle East has rapidly changed the demographics of the top winter sports countries. That won’t be reflected in their rosters for the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics.”

Racists are looking carefully at racial issues and are finding fault with certain races.
Normal people are just living their lives and not thinking about race.
I seem to recall Bryant Gumbel making a similar observation. One should not question the establishment media’s wisdom on something like this, eh, lol?
You won’t see them in NASCAR either-they don’t have the balls.
Typical AP garbage...
And while they’re at it…Maine and New Hampshire have too many white people! We need to force the cold on POC!!
“You whites aren’t disappearing fast enough.”
Exactly—the AP will not lose their revolutionary spirit until every last white person on the planet is dead.
Seems to me the summer Olympics tend make up for the overwhelmingly ‘white’ Winter Olympics.
I think of the Winter Olympics as the “Gay” Olympics.
Europe is a very racist continent. Who didn’t know that?
“”You won’t see them in NASCAR either-they don’t have the balls.””””
NASCAR and hockey. If they want to see diversity they can watch the Super Bowl tomorrow. They have a few token white people on each team.
Non whites wont devote the time and effort needed to be on top
These are the same people that complained that the US Men’s Olympic Basketball Team wasn’t all black.
Then cancel them lol.
I wonder what the racial makeup of the Ape Pee is. 🤔
Guess they want some DEI entrants.
Yeah but what are they gonna do about all that white snow?
Now do the NBA and NFL.
