re: Caitlin Clark, much like Larry Bird, the focus of talks about race and double standards

Where was this stated?

The very first thing she said…. She was asked if Clark being white was a part of her appeal

quote:

“I think it’s a huge thing. I think a lot of people may say it’s not about Black and white, but to me, it is”

And I 100% agree with that part of the statement. And you know what? There is nothing wrong with that. It’s absolutely completely fine for white people to be proud a white woman is having success in a sport they are the minority in.

The media celebrates when the black public supports a black athlete, and they celebrate the race angle.

It only becomes the villain angle if white people do it
