Racheal 'Raygun' Gunn, representing Australia in the Olympics' inaugural breakdancing competition, condemned the hate directed at her, amidst cultural criticism and cheating allegations.
Despite being the least skilled competitor in a global field of talented dancers, Raygun's performance was criticized as a disgrace, invoking deep resentment from the hip-hop community.
Dr. Stacey Patton described Raygun's performance as 'a modern-day minstrel show' that misrepresented cultural expression, highlighting the issue of cultural appropriation in the artform.
Allegations suggest that Raygun and her husband, who is also her coach, rigged the Olympic trials, further intensifying negative sentiments toward her in the breakdancing community.
