Introduction The theme of the paper is racial and ethnic inequality in sports on the example of the movie Race (2016). Racial inequality is a concept that emphasizes existing discrimination that interferes with the individuals’ ability to have socioeconomic advancement or obtain access to goods and services (US Legal, 2017). The topic is the existing discriminatory approach toward black athletes in the sport that is supported at the state and individual levels. As Harrison (2013) points out, some forms of sports (e.g., skiing) show resistance in accepting black athletes because of social, economic, and cultural factors that make these types of sports more accessible to white citizens and thus associated with Whiteness. Although sport is partially presented as a factor that mitigates racial inequality among individuals by focusing on the support provided to Owens by colleagues, the movie Race (2016) emphasizes the predominant discriminatory approach to black athletes that is shown by official representatives, foreign politicians, and white citizens. Everyday Support and Discrimination Social isolation and discrimination are issues that black athletes have to face when working with or in Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs) (Cooper, 2012). Some black athletes are perceived as physically superior but less cognitively developed (Cooper, 2012). Although the prevalence of racist stereotypes is decreasing and the support from the white population grows, black athletes continue to face discrimination in educational, sports, and other institutions. In the movie, support for the black athlete is expressed by several individuals, e.g., his coach Larry Snyder, some representatives of the U.S. Olympic Committee (although not all of them), the German athlete Luz Long and the German director Leni Riefenstahl. Although the support provided to Jesse Owens by his non-black colleagues helps him counter discrimination and strive for set goals, it does not prevent him from facing and being affected by racism both on everyday and official levels. African-American and black students tend to be affected by prejudice and discrimination expressed by individuals who support conservative American culture. Social status and relationships in the group partly correlate with students’ academic and sports performance (Reynolds et al., 2012). If the issues on campus remain unaddressed or unidentified, it can negatively affect athletes’ academic performance, self-perception, and identity (Reynolds et al., 2012). As shown in the movie, Jesse Owens and his friend are discriminated against by white athletes at the University, who make derogatory comments about them and their race (Hopkins, 2016). As seen later in Owens’ with his friend, they cannot respond to the comments as they might be expelled from the university, despite the fact that it is not them who start the fight. Official Representatives and Race The inclusion of the official representatives in the issue of race is discussed by Mikoulou et al. (2017), who points out that during World War II and segregation racist views were not only common for the American army but also among civil populations because they were supported by the white offices and the Government. The institutional approach to racism is, in this case, is focused on “w
