I think the term she’s looking for is “pretty privilege.” It has existed for eons and has nothing to do with race per se.
Yes, it’s true, people prefer watching attractive people doing stuff. Unattractive people, not so much.
The WNBA has much more of the latter (e.g. Britney Greiner), thus the novelty of Caitlin Clark.
I’m not saying she’s not attractive, but she isn’t the prettiest on her team. That would be Lexi Hull. And then there was Cameron Brink, drafted one spot behind her. I don’t know all the players, but some of them are very attractive.
Which is exemplified by Halle Berry.
If people want to watch attractive people how do you explain The View?
