My post was in response to another's post citing this particular individual as a hypothetical adjudicator I did not introduce into this thread. It is indeed off topic but no post of mine was the causation.

Again, this thread is about what happened in Russia when Griner committed a crime there. It has nothing to do with her race. Some others have brought her race up, not me. Marc Foley who is white was imprisoned for having 20 grams of medical marijuana. Griner had hashish oil which I see as more grievous. Both are in Russian prisons not on account of their race but because they broke Russian law.
