    Is NBC Olympic Reporting Racist?

    By junemay  |  Posted August 4, 2012  
     

    There is a video clip entitled, "Highlights: Chinese Men Falls Montage" on NBC's Olympic website.

     

    One wonders, would NBC create a clip entitled, "Highlights: American Falls Montage"?  This clip seems better suited for a YouTube funny video than official Olympic coverage.  A montage of Chinese "fails" seems completely counter to the spirit of the Olympics and is borderline racist.  What do you think?
