Summary
Chicago Sky forward DiJonai Carrington was ejected from a game against the Indiana Fever for a hard foul on Sophie Cunningham. After the game, Carrington posted “WHITE PRIVILEGE” on Threads, but claims it wasn’t about the foul call. Carrington said she was misunderstood and that her tweet was not about the foul, despite the implication. She also claimed to have studied white privilege in college and would not use the term lightly.
Our Reading
The controversy arrives with confidence.
DiJonai Carrington’s tweet was a masterclass in misdirection. She posted “WHITE PRIVILEGE” after a hard foul, but claims it was just a coincidence. The internet was quick to assume the worst, but Carrington says she’s the real victim – of misunderstanding. She’s a Stanford grad, after all, and knows a thing or two about white privilege. Or so she claims.
Original observation: “WHITE PRIVILEGE” is just a tweet away from being a rhetorical weapon.
