In fact, only 24 people under 6 feet have ever made it to the NBA.
If you are under 6 feet, you are probably not going to make it to the NBA, no matter how much drive you have.
That’s not to say it’s impossible. It’s just that there are people who have a natural advantage over you: they are taller. It’s not their fault they were born taller. And being tall does not guarantee them access to the NBA. The vast majority of people over six feet never play in the NBA.
But still: being six feet tall or more helps you get into the NBA.
People over six feet have an advantage over people under six feet. They didn’t invent the rules of the game, they may not be able to change the rules, but they benefit from them.
That is reflective of white privilege. You can’t just sit back and be successful because you were born white. But being white gives you a natural advantage over those who aren’t because those are the rules of the game we’re playing.
