what's the big deal?
so this weekend, a black guy qualifies for a nascar event for the first time in 20 years and a girl dunks a basketball for the first time ever in the NCAA tournament. these two stories are all over espn and other news outlets. now my question is: why is it such a big deal?
to me, pointing out an individual that's different (either sex or race) that did something that other people have already done seems kinda assinine to me. it makes me think that those people are different and that they finally did something great. i am a white male, so i can't identify with the possible race or sex relationships that can be involved in an achievement like this. i just think that if everybody is trying to treat everyone the same, why would this be such a big deal? i guess i'm just confused...
