The 2023 women's NCAA championship game broke records for viewership, and racist reactions also broke the internet. 

Two phenomenal players--Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese--used the same "can't see me" gesture during basketball games in the series. One player garnered almost no attention, or simply positive attention, for the gesture, while the other was lambasted. 

Can you guess the difference between the two? 

Caitlin Clark is white and Angel "Bayou Barbie" Reese is Black. 

In this podcast I break it all down--why did this particular incident garner so much attention; what other racial double-standards have we seen; how should we move forward in a more racially aware way?
