WHO DOESN'T LONG FOR THE DAYS WHEN THEY WERE "WHITE, STRAIGHT, SAME"...:

Fox News Executive VP Rails Against Diversity Of US Olympians: "Darker, Gayer, Different" (Paul Farhi, 2/10/18, MediaMatters)

Fox News' John Moody, who serves as the network's executive vice president and an executive editor, criticized the diversity of Team USA in an op-ed a day before the 2018 Winter Olympics were scheduled to open in PyeongChang, South Korea.

Moody decried the strides Team USA has made toward diversity of its athletes in a February 7 op-ed published on FoxNews.com. Though this is Team USA's most diverse delegation of athletes ever, as The Washington Postreported, the U.S. Olympic Committee still has a lot of progress to make: Out of 243 athletes, two men are openly gay, "10 are African American -- 4 percent -- and another 10 are Asian American. The rest, by and large, are white." Moody suggested without basis that the focus on diversity may cost Team USA medals, and speculated that athletes were given spots on the team that they didn't earn during their trials, because of their race.

...like Bruce Jenner?
