===1936 Berlin Games=== There was controversy around the [[1936 Berlin Olympic Games]], as the rhetoric and laws of the host country ([[Nazi Germany]]) encompassed, and indeed were largely based on, overt and extreme racism. Many Germans were dismayed that nonwhite athletes were allowed to compete; the "Nazis were deeply offended by sporting contacts with 'primitive' races and by competing against Negro athletes, in particular."<ref name="oxford">{{cite book |last1=Edelman |first1=Robert |last2=Wilson |first2=Wayne |title=The Oxford handbook of sports history |date=2017 |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=New York, NY |isbn=9780199858910 |page=31}}</ref> [[Adolf Hitler]] agreed with the proposition people who had ancestors who "came from the jungle" were "primitive because their physiques were stronger than those of civilized whites."<ref name="oxford" /> and wanted to impose racial segregation on the games, but the Olympic Committee refused. The Nazi regime did, however, use any results they could to propagandize the superiority of what they called the Aryan race.
