...Sung was disqualified for obstructing his path. (While trying to pass Kim, Ohno made an exasperated gesture that helped draw the referee's eye to the infraction.) Short-track skating is an obsession in Korea, and had Ohno been, say, Italian, his disputed victory might have made him a target of mere outrage. But at the time, tensions with U.S. soldiers based in Korea were escalating, and the undercurrent of anti-Americanism was hardly ameliorated by the fact that Ohno is half Japanese. Korea is a former Japanese colony, and many Koreans still feel deep resentment toward the country...
...case can be made that something other than a sense of duty and patriotism (much more difficult to quantify in any case) figures into that child’s decision. One could also factor in the effect (and question the morality) of recruiting campaigns and strategies that specifically target certain minority groups (following the español link on goarmy.com or airforce.com does not simply lead to a translated site, but an entire culturally-based sales pitch aimed at Latino youth.)

...evening en route to a relatively quiet game-high 21 points. But his 6-of-15 performance from the field was not enough to take the pressure off of Stehle and Cusworth down low or draw some off the defenders off freshman point guard Drew Housman, who was the target of most of the Yale student section’s chants and jeers. The following evening in Providence, R.I., Goffredo singlehandedly kept the Crimson even or better from long range, nailing eight threes, with seven of those coming in the first half. After missing his first attempt from behind...
