When people say Meb isn't a "real" American just because he was born and raised (for only 10 years) in Eritrea, many people get up in arms and start slinging around accusations of racism. Geb and his family came to America for a better life.
So what about when LRC calls Elvan Abyelegesse "Turkish". She came here over 10 years ago. She's Turkish now. Talk about a double standard.
