Shownotes

Today we are tackling the phenomenon of Nice White Triathletes. While these individuals may be well-intended, Shaunna and Lisa explain why just being “nice” is not enough to disrupt systemic racism in endurance sport, and in society as a whole. Niceness does not exempt us from dismantling racism. We learn how we can start to acknowledge racism, so we can see it as more than just white sheets, slurs, and bad behaviour. The fight for inclusion needs more than just nice people; it needs disruptors and loud voices standing up. As the late U.S. Rep. John Lewis said, Shaunna and Lisa encourage triathletes and endurance athletes to get into “good trouble, necessary trouble” in order to move toward meaningful change.
