Caitlin Clark’s popularity is about ‘White privilege’ and ‘pretty privilege’: host of ‘The View’
NY Post ^ | 5/23/24 | Hanna Penreck, Fox News

“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.

Does Black Privilege exist?

Decent looking young woman, but “pretty”? Not really. But that boils down to eye of the beholder, doesn’t it?

Ms. Clark may not have super model Christie Brinkley looks as she did in her prime, but I think she is a quite pretty young woman and she can sure play basketball better than Christie ever could or anyone on the View.

Brandon Griner is a mediocre player at best.

Sonny Hostin’s physical features show that she has significant Caucasian admixture. Much like Obama, she feels the need to crap on Whitey for political reasons.

“I wonder how many viewers the ‘View’ would lose if those gals went on stage without the paint.”

Or the 50lb bucket of drywall joint compound used to even out those ugly mugs of theirs.

**She applied stuff with a low pressure spray gun!**

Working those small areas ya probably have to take it slow and easy. And masking off those areas would be time consuming, with tape sticking to hair as well.

Clark is not pretty, just a normal looking girl. But by all accounts she is an awesome athlete, a decent person, and noticeably sportsmanlike.

They have NOTHING with which to knock her so they make up shit and act like they're "fighting" on behalf of ... something.

Yep, they are probably using far more than their fair share of ‘foundation’. Hypocrite socialists, they don’t follow their own rule...

“To every woman or trans as have need” (or whatever that socialist line says)

Pretty is in the eyes of the beholder. When Caitlin plays basketball she is one of the most beautiful human beings I’ve ever seen. The Creator has not made many like this.
