Not only the alleged misjudgment…” Images produced by a European sports broadcaster also came under fire for “Asian discrimination” exposed at the Paris Olympics.

The Paris Olympics came to a close with a strong showing by the Japanese team, which won 20 gold medals and ranked third among the participating countries.

The top gold medalists were the U.S. and China, with 40 gold medals. Although Asian teams also did very well at the Paris Olympics, it seems that Asia does not exist in the eyes of Europe.

The European sports channel “Eurosport” created an image commemorating the Paris Olympics and posted it on X.

Paris 2024, the greatest show on earth, we will never forget you.

The image features more than 30 athletes who played an active role in this year’s games, including Snoop Dogg and Tom Cruise, among others. However, there are no Japanese or Chinese who have played such an active role.

The only Asian listed was Kim Ye-ji, a Korean athlete who made a splash with his shooting. This is.

“Isn’t this racist?

Some foreign users of X also commented, “I have always been interested in European and especially French athletes.

I always say that Europe, especially France, is much more racist than some American athletes. I’m sick of it.

I will never go to France again.

Are there no Asians on their planet?

I will never go back to France,” “Are there no Asians on their planet?

Speaking of the Paris Olympics, the opening ceremony on July 26 was controversial because of a performance by drag queens and transgenders dressed in flamboyant women’s clothing, reminiscent of Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper. The performance was controversial because it featured a nude man in blue paint and a drag queen with a beard, but it was probably intended to showcase diversity.

France is a country that is tolerant of diversity, but there are some people who blatantly discriminate against Asians. Even a public medium such as a sports channel so blatantly excludes Asians.

Eurosport is a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery of the United States and is headquartered in France. Although it is a channel for the European market, it is inevitable to some extent that some people may say that the bias is too much,” said a sports writer.

A post that raised suspicions of discrimination was also a topic of discussion.

Judo athlete Naohisa Takafuji wrote in X on the 9th

I’m at the end of my arm because the waiter didn’t show up in Paris.

The post reads, “I’m about to lose my arm because the waiter didn’t show up in Paris. The photo shows Takafuji at a restaurant, holding up his hand with a pained expression on his face.

This is a common occurrence. Seriously, Asians are discriminated against.

They are made fun of.

The comments from the users were, “This is the kind of country where Asians are discriminated against. On the 13th, Takafuji wrote

The shopkeeper was kind to me.

The shopkeeper was kind to me. However, the fact that the Internet has become such a frenzy is proof that many Japanese felt “discriminated” against during the Olympics.

In 2009, a video of a French national soccer player allegedly ridiculing the appearance and language of Japanese people was spread on the Internet, and he apologized. Mr. Hiroyuki, who lives in France, said

I don’t think the language was a reference to race, although it was a terrible swear word.

The French resident, Hiroyuki, once caused a big controversy when he sent out the opinion, “It is a terrible swear word, but I don’t think it is a racial word.

In Hollywood, people are conscious of diversity, for example, by casting people of color as presidents and princesses, but there is no doubt that awareness of Asian people is lower than that of African and Spanish people worldwide.

This time, in the Olympic Games, Japanese people were “discriminated” when Tatsuki Nagayama lost in the quarterfinals of the men’s 60kg judo competition due to a “questionable decision” and Aya Mori failed to reach the first hold of the women’s combined sport climbing final because the first task was too high. In the women’s combined sport climbing final, Aya Mori was unable to reach the first hold because it was too high. I hope that such issues will be resolved at the next Los Angeles Games. ……

The “discrimination against Asia” was ironically revealed at the Olympics, which is said to be a “festival of peace. Many people may have been disappointed in some way through the Paris Olympics. ……
