An Australian Olympic basketballer has made international news by calling out a “whitewashed” promotion of Australian Olympians and Paralympians ahead of the Tokyo 2021 Olympics.
29-year-old Liz Cambage has threatened to boycott the games after her criticism of the campaign, which reportedly only featured one person of colour, sparked a torrent of online commentary.
Ms Cambage has backed her position, telling her Instagram viewers that Australia’s black athletes are some of the best we have and should at the forefront.
