Such a tough choice.... Who do you pick?! Disenfranchised Race... Disenfranchised Gender... Oh Gawd, it's the Kobayashi Maru of Social Justice !
We can't just avoid bias by using a random process like flipping a coin... what are we Nazi's?
The horror, the horror.

Its hard to know how to score this one
She's white, so she has white privilege (duh) but at the same time she's female who by all accounts has been in near violent servitude until about 2016 in this country.
He's black(?) so he's got the slavery card to play, BUT he also has male privilege
I think somehow this pretty much breaks even, she is just as downtrodden as he is and at the same time about as equally privileged.
BUT
The coin likely had a white male on it...she's white....white males always need another female to hold back from their potential...so yeah...the coin is racist....AND sexist.

For his part, the “Reverend” Jackson wants a “more appropriate” system.
The choice to represent our country as #flagbearer in the @Olympics should never be determined by the flip of a coin. The Committee should immediately institute a more appropriate system to make such a significant determination. @ShaniDavis pic.twitter.com/OmR7C9o1GM

In other words, a system that will automatically select the black individual, apparently. What else could he mean? Plenty of Twitter users were quick to point out the absurdity of Jackson’s demand.
The flip of a coin is literally the fairest option. Rev Jesse Jackson Sr on Twitter:

This guy is probably going to win a medal and then that will be the last thing he'll ever do in life. would you pick him up if you were an Advertiser, he'll probably blame that on racism too.

Meanwhile, some people close to Davis are questioning whether the aforementioned tweet actually came from the athlete.
***8220;That doesn***8217;t sound like Shani,***8221; Nathaniel Mills, a friend of Davis***8217; and his former public relations officer and lawyer, said in text message to USA Today. ***8220;I***8217;d be surprised if he wrote it.***8221;
