In response to my post (Angry David) below, I received this email: "As'ad, I am Tunisian and I know that Oussama Mellouli goes by the nickname "Ous", his own wiki page says this. It was not ignorance or worse on behalf of NBC to call him that. AS for not giving him a lot of broadcast time, NBC hardly gives any non-American broadcast time. It makes no difference that he's Arab. Some people are just too quick to accuse the 'White Man' of rascism."
