So far, I have tried to figure out the reason for your mentioning race in your fascinating article, and found no tangible one, personally.

Black women aren’t the only ones in the athlete world being dubbed arrogant:

The link above also refers to white celebs like Ellen Degeneres, and others accused of being arrogant and dragged on the internet, silly.
