How are Racial Issues Such as Stereotyping, centrality and stocking reflected in the Olympics?

The Olympic charter stated that "sport should be played without discrimination of any kind regardless of colour and creed of a person." In my essay I will discus issues on racism such as Stereotyping, centrality and stoking and see how racism is being portrayed in the Olympics and in other work places. I will also look at the raise and culture of people and see how they are affected in different ways.

The summer games in Sydney 2002 were exiting, dramatic and inspirational and as I sat down to watch the one hundred metre final I began to think. In the ten seconds the fastest man at the Olympics will take the gold medal. That man may be pre-Olympic favourite if you call people that, Americans Maurice Greene. It may be Trinidad's Ato Boldon. It may even be Britain's Dwain Chambers of great form lately. But there was one thing I was certain of it will be a black man who will win. I then realised I can't remember the last white man of this decade even making the final, I began to think why?
