Gold medalist skier Eileen Gu is causing waves and raising questions for being an American who was raised and trains in America, but competes for China.
The Federalist recently ran a piece on Gu saying the she is the product of a portion of America that has gone through schools which are the products of the Left's long march through the institutions where being an "American" is nothing, well....exceptional. So she sees skiing for the RCBs (Red Commie Bastards, a term Gen. George S. Patton coined) as just some international business deal that she is making to further her career. They Chinese made her her a better offer than the U.S. and she went with it. I don't believe loyalty to her homeland played any part in it. Now could she showing some loyalty to China? No idea, don't know much about her other than she is your typical Gen Z media darling who has a virulent care of "Main Character Syndrome" but then can't figure out why her notoriety is not providing an adequate defense against her detractors. Ha!
I have a hard time believing that anyone is really taken in by Eileen Gu’s stunt. She’s a charlatan who sold her face to some desperately insecure ChiComs. She’s a rich California girl doing her sport, and everyone can obviously see this.
To be fair, I will also roll my eyes on some “American” olympians who are clearly foreign, but are taking advantage of the opportunities that come with representing us. At least these types really do train here and usually speak English, often better than some of the athletes born and raised here.

You have a hard time believing it because you live in Texas.
Here is an insider’s analysis about the two different athletes (hint: it’s not about the Olympics).
