White Man wins 200M World Championship Race...

+1.I remember (George Forman) winning his gold and waving a little flag on a stick. That was authentic. Fast forward to 1984 and Carl Lewis taking the large flag on his victory lap. All heLL broke loose after that.

This draping a flag over your shoulders thing has gotten out of hand. It grew from one or two competitors to every single medalist, and sometimes also competitors who didn't even medal (some Kenyan in a race a few days ago who joined a Kenyan medal winner).

I love the U.S. flag as much as anyone, but I am tired of seeing these victory laps with flags.

Turkey is massive. There is a big ethnic diversity across it. It's like saying all Americans are once 'race'. NONSENSE. Even your white Americans don't all come from the same European roots.

as he himself stated the countries are very similar

and almost share a border.

not like other athletes from other side of earth and different culture

now they are worth complaining about and still train in home country year round

in fairness has come along way since father died and like many young people

took awhile to find himself then obviously gets tattooed and made a choice to

represent turkey , as was never going to happen in azerbaijan . the correct one.

I guess we're all confusing genetics, with ethnicity, with language family, with religion, with national identity, with race (and this last one doesn't really stand up to much scrutiny)

so, he's an Azeri-speaking Turk of Azeri ancestry who's most likely Muslim and may - gasp* - even consider himself white! To further complicate the picture, both Turks and Azeris belong to the broader Turkic language family!! Long live Pan-Turism!

I am willing to call Guliyev gold medal winner who is a Muslim white if you white folks

accept that Muslim terrorists are whites.

Who cares what color he is. What are the odds of a Turkish medal winner being clean?

A Turkey-bought runner that trains in Russia. Couldn't make it up

So, you're another racist who seems to believe that atrocities can't be committed by whites, and therefore that Turks aren't white, even though that is their skin color. Are Germans white?

The Turks are certainly not white. The person who said that modern Turks have more European ancestry - Turks are a brutal ruthless people, always have been, and always willing to commit genocide. They did it 100 years ago against the Armenians butchering nearly a million men, women and children with machetes and knives, so they would have certainly done it 1,000 years ago against the native Greek and other caucasian peoples of Anatolia and Ionia.

Greece and the Balkans probably has far more Turkish genes from half a millenia of Ottoman occupation than Turkey has European genes.

Not to mention that the future of Europe is Turkish. Countries like Austria and Denmark almost have Turkish majority young populations.

Lots of whites in ex-Soviet Republics eg Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Georgia, Azerbaijan etc.

Wrong. Being of Caucasian appearance means white, being from the Caucasus does not.

Turk considered white now that he is winning races huh?

The only reason they're not allowed into the EU is because whities don't consider them white enough

Again, he isn't Turkish. Please keep up.

And how many races in the world do you think there are? If Turkish people are not white, what are they? Ethnicity and cultures are not races is a hint.

Turkish are not 'white'. They are a mongoloid people. You could break the entire human population into three broad ethnic groups in the world and they still wouldn't be white. Caucasian, Mongoloid, and Negro.

EU heads like Junker want to let Turkey in, but can because to do so would provoke a massive right-wing backlash and the probably withdrawal from the EU of most East European countries. And the reason for this is because firstly Turkey is an Islamic dictatorship with an appalling human rights record, and secondly Europe already has a massive young and growing Turkish population that is completely unintegrated, a source of major crime and a drain on welfare, and the Turkish goverment (Erdogen) has been actively trying this year to incite this immigrant population into causing trouble for the European governments that invited them in. Just last week he declared that with the help of the Turkish immigrant population, Turkey could overrun Germany within a week. Yet the EU is still refusing to rule out admitting Turkey as a member.

There is no "Caucasian" race. The notion that white people originated there was a 19th century hypothesis based on skull shapes. It is as evidence-free as the idea of an "Aryan" origin, and just as racist.

It is actively promoted in the United States in an attempt to create a racial identity among European-descended people who would rather focus on national or linguistic roots. ID politics is part of the official economic and political structure of the USA and they want everyone thinking that way.

The idea that there is no such thing as 'race' is a outmoded piece of leftie dogma that may have been quite contrarian and cool 50 years ago, but is now simply an expression of establishment dogma with no scientific basis nor even common sense, and that can only be commonly held as true through being brutally enforced by Orwellian thought policing (usually by white or Jewish priviliged elites who live in white only suburbs).

That's right! Spread the word, there is no such thing as race in human beings.

Sure. But don't forget to tell Sickle Cell Disease too.

It's curious that any human being that claims that race is not real happens to be invariably....white.

Must be just a co-incidence.

He was running for Turkey. Does anyone *seriously* think he wasn't dirty?
