Is there a single Asian on team USA’s Olympic track and field team? Why don’t we believe in diversity here, unlike in the workplace and at schools? Genuine question, hoping to get people’s thoughts on why companies and schools are held to a different standard.
The broader social dismantlement movement that, as one of its tenets, supports and demands DEI is attacking sports by demanding that trans women be accepted into women's sports right now, rather than demanding that the meritocracy of sports be scrapped in favor of race quotas. I'm sure the fact that many sports are heavily skewed toward certain demographics that movement favors is part of the reason. Oddly, by promoting the idea of trans women in women's sports, they're kind of upholding meritocracy, only changing it from "may the best actual woman win" to "may the best person we can get into the event by redefining the word 'woman' win."
There have been a few psychos who have written about DEI-ifying sports. I remember when Italy won Euro 2021, some dumb-as-rocks progressive journalist wrote an article crying about the lack of diversity within the team.

Err...asian americans are 6% of the US population (and hispanics are 19%, I don't think there are many hispanics on the team either). White people are 0% of china's population. This is not much of an argument.

Michael Norman is half Japanese. Diljeet Taylor, who is of Indian decent, coaches one of the Team USA members.
If you want Hispanics, we got Grant Fisher, who is half Mexican. Bryce Hoppel has both Mexican and Native American ancestry through his mom.
..............and that's it other than athletes who are white, black, African, or some combination thereof.

I believe Chase Jackson (formerly Ealey) is part Latina. She grew up in Los Alamos, New Mexico and her mother’s last name is Naranjo-Martinez.
Yes, I forgot about her. That gives us like 1.3 Hispanic athletes on our team when you add up the Hispanic heritage of Fisher, Jackson, and Hoppel. That goes with 0.5 Asian athletes. Diversity! Heck, even Notre Dame, the whitest of white people schools, had a half-Asian coach, a half-Asian starting QB, and a half-Asian all-American safety.
