Usain Bolt is team Ellen DeGeneres.
This week, the daytime host got some backlash after posting a visual gag on Twitter, which featured Ellen photoshopped riding on the back of the Olympic gold medalist in the middle of a race.
The photo was the typical, run-of-the-mill joke you’d expect from The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which often photoshops its host into scenes of trending pics and viral memes.

But critics were quick to point out that a visual of the fair-skinned DeGeneres riding the Jamaican track star was culturally insensitive.
But it looks like Bolt himself is among those LOLing — because he retweeted the photo himself on Monday!
Clearly, the athlete is too busy winning gold medals to worry about dissecting a photo for racist undertones.
