    what i like about olympics is that every time there’s something even slightly controversial people have to mention Michael Phelps. let the dude be the goat of swimming in peace.

      I don’t think this is necessarily antagonistic to Phelps but more exactly literally what they wrote, the western double standard which is realy just good old racism. Asians are only meant to win at badminton or table tennis or some other stereotype shit.
