Commentator says Chinese skiers 'all look the same' at Winter Olympics
The ears of Australian viewers of the Winter Olympics pricked up on Thursday night, when a commentator said Chinese athletes "all look the same."
The comment was made by former freestyle skier and five-time Olympian Jacqui Cooper, following a jump by Chinese aerial skier Yan Ting during a qualifying run.

Look, we don't need to explain why these choice of words are really bad to use, especially to describe those of Asian ethnicity.
Cooper's employer, Channel Seven, explained in a tweet that "at no time was the commentary racist, intended to be racist of offensive," but rather inferred the Chinese are "trained in the same way."

As did Cooper, who made it clear that she "was talking about the jump."

Yeah, but please don't use those words, thanks.
