Die Olympischen Spiele könnten Marathon in den Winter verlegen, was Masato Sakai von President.jp zu der Spekulation veranlasst, „die Herrschaft der afrikanischen Nationen könnte vorbei sein“, und gibt Japan eine Chance: „Viele von ihnen reagieren sehr empfindlich auf Kälte. Wenn in Kenia die Temperatur unter 20 °C sinkt, beginnen einige Menschen, wollene Winterkleidung zu tragen.“

How much does this moron think cold will affect people’s ability to run? Who looks at marathons and says, “you know, it’s our moderate climate that gives these African men who’ve been running their whole lives the edge”?

It’s a kind of racism that almost makes me forget to be mad because of how bewilderingly stupid it is…

lol. I still remember tv programs saying this during Tokyo 2020 when they decided to have the marathon in Hokkaido. They thought they had a chance because East Africans wouldn’t be able to adapt. Guess what happened.

But it’s nothing new. See what happens in any World Cup when Japan faces an African country. Win? We were too tactically advance and intelligent for them. We conquered! Lose? Well of course we lost to those beasts. They’re too big and powerful.

I remember way back whenever they used to say Japanese players would never be great because they’re too small, I’d always ask them how Messi is the best in the world then at 1.65m.

The complete lack of thinking here is shocking. Just look at football. Some of the best players in Europe at present are from Africa, and they don’t all suddenly stop working when the winter hits!

Damn, Japan really doesn’t want to deal with immigrants at all.
