It's reassuring to see the level of the American media so low. Is it racist to have too high a percentage of Asians among American figure skaters? Why doesn't the New York Times say that the percentage of black players in the NBA is too high? Why not say that curling is all white? The New York Times' biased reporting is not only aimed at Asian Americans, but also constantly throwing dirty water on the Winter Olympics.
The proportion of Asian athletes in figure skating is indeed very high, but this is by no means racist, but determined by the physical characteristics of each ethnic group.
Yellows do have better physical flexibility and coordination than blacks and whites, and are better able to gain an advantage in figure skating. Since 2014, three consecutive Olympic figure skating men's singles gold medals have been yellow people. Especially in this Winter Olympics, the gold medalist is Asian American Chen Wei, the silver and bronze medalists and the fourth place are all Japanese players, the fifth place is Korean players, and the top five are yellow races.

Why doesn't the New York Times say black people in the NBA League? Why not say curling for white people? This offensive report is not an accident at all, nor is it the ignorance of individuals, but it can be written, and this article has ulterior motives.
First, the political power and influence of Asians in the United States are relatively weak, and taking Asians to cut them will not violate the taboos of the United States. If the subject of this article is that too many black athletes in a certain arena are racist, the author of the article may have been expelled.
I write about Asians because I can write about them. Behind this "yes" is the reality that Asians have always struggled to integrate into the United States.
Second, when asians are mentioned, it is naturally easy to think of Asian countries and China. During the COVID-19 pandemic, certain "Chinese rumors" spread in the United States as a result of Asians being attacked. This article takes Asians as a knife, and also has the meaning of alluding to China.
Third, figure skating is an important event in the Winter Olympics, which is stained with racial stains and is also an attack on the Winter Olympics. In recent times, the American media has been keen to attack the Winter Olympics, trying to achieve certain sinister political goals in this way.
The New York Times article contained a lot of schemes and purposes, but the level of the article itself was so clumsy that American readers did not agree. It's reassuring to see the level of the American media so low.
