How can you miss the one child out? It hardly seems a coincidence.

What i've read on this situation reads like there may be some other background issues with the family and the association.

The fact that the presenter has walk straight past the little girl and ignored her to give medals to others is just plainly disgusting on their part. The look on her face tells it all, shame.

White is a colour.
Maybe you don't think it is and judging by your posts I can see why.
Do you really think 'whites' are discriminated against around the world??
There are some that should be,but they tend to go to Bellend Rd and think they are superior to others. That for me says it all

Some people abhor racism. And some people enjoy it.

It's easy to spot which is which.
