US, US, baby

You know what one of my favorite things about the Olympics was/is this year? The fact that our American athletes are pretty representative of who we are as a people.

Although while traveling, foreigners struggled to grasp the fact that not all Americans were white, I think just a quick glance at our Olympic contingent surely proves that we are a country of immigrants.

Seriously…take for instance that men’s gymnastics’ team…Artemev, Bhavsar, Estrada, Hagerty, Hamm, Horton, Tan. Even the names on that small team captures the diversity of our country.

If only we could have gotten the whole world to watch NBC these past two weeks…
