The whole Ray Gun breaking situation:
A talentless rich white lady scammed her way into the Olympics, scored zero points, embarrassed the athletes that did have the talent to be there, and became the focus of attention.
Academics who know absolutely nothing about breaking are jumping out of the woodwork to defend her, because as I mentioned, she's a rich white lady, and a credentialed one at that.
The conversation is now not about breaking, but about "Are people being too mean to her?"
