Olympian Gabby Thomas Shuts Down Racist Comments Accusing Her Of Faking Harvard Degree
HuffPost
Thomas slammed the discourse after an X (formerly Twitter) user wrote that the champion athlete “doesn't sound like she's the brightest out there.”
Gabby Thomas is setting the record straight after being grilled by internet trolls over the validity of her Harvard degree.
After a social media user on X, formerly Twitter, wrote over the weekend that Thomas “doesn’t sound like she’s the brightest out there,” the olympic champion, 27, responded just minutes later in her own post.
“You’re probably right 🤷🏽♀️ 😂 darn my Harvard degree,” Thomas replied on Saturday.
In a separate post on Sunday, Thomas shared that the X user’s comment set off a chain of racist comments from people accusing her of being dishonest about earning her degree from the Ivy League institution due to her race.
“Today, on Jan 26, 2025, there are hundreds of people commenting on my Twitter page that specifically because I am black, they must assume I did not earn my admission into Harvard nor did I earn my diploma. Is this real life??” the three-time gold medalist wrote.
