Winter Olympics: Domnina & Shabalin Offend Aboriginals (Video)

Mon, Feb 22, 2010

Russians Domnina & Shabalin win bronze at the 2010 Winter Olympics, but piss off Aboriginals everywhere.

After being criticised, reigning world champions Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin toned down their outfits – making their bodysuits more beige than brown, and removing some of the white markings on their legs and arms.
But their appearance on the ice still drew some disapproval, and apparently didn’t help win the judges over – the pair had slipped back into third place before the finals.

Do you think Australian Aboriginals should be offended? Do Olympians have a responsibility to make sure that their sport doesn’t offend minorities?

Bitch Pleaz!
