cordshoes Fair enough. I mean I haven’t said and I’m not saying there isn’t a racist element to some of the coverage. There are sections of the press that are positively vile. ‘High brow’ racists are the ones who do the most harm. I tend not to read those papers or watch those channels.
I genuinely think a person of any race with a comparable public profile and such an amazing story, non verbal until the age of 12, couldn’t read or write until 17 and went on to be a professor at Cambridge , ran 600 miles in 6 days…. It’s a story that’s getting a lot of column inches.
Maybe a white professor would be able to fly under the radar. I am aware of who broke the story and his views on race but once the story broke I honestly believe there’s not an editor of any newspaper who wouldn’t find it newsworthy.
That’s the point I’m arguing.
