“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin argued that “White privilege” and “pretty privilege” played a role in Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark’s popularity during the ABC talk show Wednesday.
“I do think that there is a thing called pretty privilege. There is a thing called White privilege. There is a thing called tall privilege, and we have to acknowledge that, and so part of it is about race, because if you think about the Brittney Griners of the world, why did she have to go to play in Russia? Because they wouldn’t pay her,” Hostin said, referring to the WNBA.
The co-hosts of “The View” were discussing former ESPN host Jemele Hill’s argument that Clark owed much of her popularity to her race and sexuality.
Hostin said earlier in the discussion she had no issue with Clark bringing the WNBA some much-needed attention.
“Now, Caitlin Clark is bringing this money, these sponsorships, we hope, into the league and other players will benefit from it. But I do think that she is more relatable to more people because she’s White, because she’s attractive, and unfortunately, there still is that stigma against the LGBTQ+ community,” Hostin said.

She’s jealous.
Maybe people want to cheer someone on who isn’t a thug.
Attractive? I think not.
Interesting that they don’t bring up CIS privilege, considering how many players and supporters to date are not on that team, if you will. Probably that’s the last thing they want to call attention to.
Female character assassination is recognized in social science literature. For non academics we just call it being a bytch.
Of course. Fidiot harridans.
So, is Michael Jordan’s popularity due to his handsome visage and black privilege or is it due to the fact that he was probably the best basketball player ever? The Left cannot handle success and popularity based on merit.
What a load of crap. Caitlyn Clark is an excellent womens basketball player. White privileged our ashes, she earned her accolades. Why aren’t leftard Woke women celebrating her instead? Because she doesn’t fit into their Woke racist agenda. Iowa went to 2 straight National title championship games in large part because of her. Did she get there on her ‘white privilege or she can shoot the ball 🏀 with high accuracy? To be Woke is to be a stupid moron.
If she can keep it up she may just become the Michael Jordan of the WBA and it's driving the race grifters even crazier than they already are
and was tiger woods hoopla black privilege? What about the Williams sisters? black privilege?
Or maybe... it is a little more interesting of a story when someone from an underrepresented race in certain sports succeeds?
NAAA!! that couldn’t be it! It MUST be Racism!!! /s
please, she’s not good looking... she’s good at baskethoops
Shame on ABC for employing this racist and giving her a platform.
Exactly, normally it is cheered when the underrepresented race is Black.
Big Ugly Lesbians aren’t marketable??? Who knew!
**Attractive? I think not.**
Lol. Yeah, from the pics I’ve seen, she’s a plain jane when without makeup, as are most women. I wonder how many viewers the ‘View’ would lose if those gals went on stage without the paint. Probably a lot. The modern world is conditioned to see women with painted faces.
All the chick on the view are angry because they have to apply their make-up with a trowel.
Chick those family owned slaves is one to run her trap
“Pretty privilege?” That’s something fat cows say when they are jealous of someone else’s accomplishments.
Whose not those
