After often remaining silent about her name being used in cultural disputes, Caitlin Clark has spoken up.
The WNBA phenom was named Time's Athlete of the Year after putting women's basketball and women's sports on the map.
After she entered the league, there were several comments made about her being White.
WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson said Clark being White was a "huge thing" when it came to Clark's popularity. Angel Reese even said there had been "a lot of racism" from Iowa and Indiana Fever fans. Connecticut Sun player DiJonai Carrington, who poked Clark in the eye during a Connecticut playoff win over the Fever, previously criticized Clark for not doing more to call out racism.
In her discussion with Time, Clark seemed to agree with Wilson to an extent.
"I want to say I’ve earned every single thing, but as a White person, there is privilege," Clark told Time. "A lot of those players in the league that have been really good have been Black players. This league has kind of been built on them.

Indeed. You cna’t fix stupid.
name ONE thing you got from said privilege...
She feels bad. Real bad. Just not bad enough to quit and give her spot on the team to a black girl.
Larry Bird never did that. He got the same treatment in the NBA.
CC is not a smart girl.
White savior complex. It’s pathogenic.
What she ignores is that the WNBA is a net loser financially. It is completely propped up by NBA cash.
She, like so many other whites, think that groveling, kissing black asses, and self loathing will make her more accepted.
What an idiot!
She shouldn’t have to endure anyone making her feel bad about being on the team that picked her to play. Nor in the league she is helping to promote with her ability.
What a maroon.
She's obviously just as dumb as all the other players.
Cut off the money from the men’s game. Play only black women. See what happens.
Will she quit and let a black woman have that spot or is she racist?
Stupid broad. Of all the times in recent years to go harder on woke. No one respects submission.
‘ name ONE thing you got from said privilege...’
For her? Fans on this website, for one. Up until now at least.
They never did.
I feel privileged to have never seen a WNBA game or even to give a damn about it.
“Built on Black players”
What was built!? A financial loser with a minuscule audience. Tha’st what was built.
Is Caitlin even a biological female?!
No, she shouldn’t. It’s a choice and she’s choosing to stay and exercise her “white privilege.”
Kind of pathetic remorse isn’t it? lol
