The Olympics begin on August 8th and are supposed to represent the world coming together as one to compete on a friendly stage in athletic competition. However, it always seems that the Olympics are always used as a stage for discrimination, racism and prejudice of some sort.

It is appalling to me that this is even an occurring. It is 2008, and people still have to deal with this sort of racism. To me it is just a reminder that racism is very much alive and that no matter who you are or where you are, you will more than likely have to deal with it on some level. It saddens me that at the Olympics, which is a place where the world is to come together, people are forced to have to deal with this kind of treatment. Will it ever end?
