I'm 49 years old and I have NEVER seen a black competitive swimmer...I can't wait to see a black gold medalist swimmer

I am betting they don't have men competing as women

I can't believe they kicked the white kid out

If this isn't racism I don't know what is

I hope we can someday celebrate when we judge swimmers by the quality of their swimming, and not by the color of their skin.

Isn't 'breaking barriers' a bit of a cliche? They're a team of very-good swimmers; I hope they go on to do well.

That's not breaking barriers, that's segregation💨🤡

What are the chances of a white kid from ohio joining?

Breaking barriers? By being exclusive? No, I don't think so.

People constantly motivated by race instead of talent. This is what continues to drive racial divide among the community.

Black people can do things? Make a movie about it.
