"People of color must endure racial discrimination even as others may be blind to it. There is a lot of statistical data showing American institutions treat citizens very differently based on race. Many individuals believe this widespread racial discrimination occurs in numerous ways, from racial profiling and police brutality against black citizens to public examples of racism against people of color.Yet the prevalence of racial discrimination is a controversial issue, with Americans having opinions that often differ based on their race."--Provided by publisher

Der Sport gilt auf der Ebene normativ-politischer Diskurse als ausgezeichnetes Medium einer universalen Verständigung und als ein gesellschaftlicher Bereich, der Gleichheitsideale in geradezu vorbildlicher Weise verwirklicht. Allerdings zeigt die Praxis des Sports von Menschen unterschiedlicher Herkunft, dass auch der Sport nicht frei von rassistischen Einstellungen und Diskriminierungen ist. Zu berücksichtigen ist dabei, dass es nicht "den" Rassismus sondern vielfältige Rassismen gibt, die historisch veränderlich sind und innerhalb komplexer Gesellschaften diverse, feldspezifische Formen annehmen können. Auf dem Feld des Sports stellt vor allem das Körperliche einen Schnittpunkt von Rassismus und Sportpraxis dar.
