re: Jemele Hill goes full on racist and sexist all in one sentence.

Who’s more marketable, Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods or Nikola Jokic and Scottie Scheffler?

Is your answer problematic?

Your analogy is irrelevant.

No one is saying that a particular black person can't be more marketable than a particular white person. That answer is not problematic. Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods are generally accepted (although not universally accepted) to be among the greatest in their respective sports. Although both are champions, Joker could not make it into the conference finals this year, and Scheffler could not make it into the Valhalla parking lot. Moreover, this isn't a discussion about comparing Clark to specific individuals.

And let's leave sexuality out of the discussion for a moment. I believe Coke misinterpreted "sexuality" to mean attractiveness while Hill meant it to mean sexual orientation. And as TheWalrus said: "Her race, maybe I could buy to a degree. But her sexuality has absolutely nothing to do with her popularity." For Clark, the struggle to be attractive is real.

So the general questions remains: You don't think it's problematic that a white person is more marketable than a black person?
