The Angel Reese drama is a prime example of the double standards young people of color face. LSU star Angel Reese is defending the “you can’t see me” and other gestures she aimed at Iowa Hawkeyes’ Caitlin Clark during the Tigers’ first NCAA women’s basketball national championship victory game. Reese’s move is being highly criticized across the news and social media, but Reese is making a point to show viewers that she’s just giving the same energy back to Clark, who made similar gestures in the past and wasn’t criticized. Reese pointed out the double standard in a statement saying, “All year, I was critiqued for who I was. I don’t fit the narrative…I don’t fit the box that y’all want me to be in. I’m too hood. I’m too ghetto. Y’all told me that all year. But when other people do it, and y’all don’t say nothing…So this is for the girls that look like me.” (CNN, UPROXX)
