105476, exactly, the rest is just some olympics of misery

there are many differences, of course. the fact that black athletes faced a very real, at times codified barrier and that there was really no way for them to "pass" either. the social climate of the country and of sports is also very different. there is little question both are more accepting now than they were 70 years ago.
that just means some people have learned from history's mistakes.
