Not unique!?

In the article “The Other Blind Side,” by Josh Levin, I think Levin is correct on the point that there are other people with the same situation as the movie “The Blind Side”, but not every sports player that moves to do better in their lives, are being only helped by white people. This article shows that most sports players are being helped and getting better lives by the help of white people but I am pretty sure that there are many people in this world that are being helped by people other than white people are being put in the same situation. I think that sounds somewhat racist for Levin to say that African Americans are being helped by white people because he leaves out the point that there are African Americans being helped by other colored people also to help them bring themselves up higher than they are and better their lives. Situations like Oher’s are happening a lot of places but aren’t being as recognized as others are being recognized. There may even be better stories out their but the world is so big that we might not get the chance to even hear about these stories at all. Levin should not have said, “Black athlete meets white family, flourishes on account of the added support, and everyone lives happily ever after.” I think he should not have said that because it shows that black athletes get better from only white family help, which is definitely not true everywhere.
