Thank you so much for sharing this. I’ve unfortunately had to explain this to peers on multiple occasions. These top Black students and top Black athletes aren’t at the top for the fun of it, it’s because it’s the standard if you want anyone to pay attention to you and give you your credit. My old coworkers and I coined the term ‘White Boy Excellence’, which is essentially what describes the mediocrity they often present and get away with successfully. That reporter who was ill-prepared was showing White Boy Excellence at its finest. Great read!
