The 'Black' part of this article's title seems a little weird

On the other hand, whenever a Black person is successful, it's okay to mention that in the headline.

But I agree it's a bit off. For example it's OK for the NYT to mention that SBF is a genius and that he's an effective altruist in headlines as long as his ponzi is not exposed, but as soon as it's exposed, suddenly no mention of "effective altruism" (despite several people from that movement personally and illegally benefiting from "donations" from SBF [1]) nor any mention of "genius" anymore.

We're kind of used to headlines working that way.

[1] even years and maybe even decades later there's hope some of these funds shall be clawed back from these people though (people who suddenly now have a very low profile)

> a group that’s not doing as well as the others That's a really weird way to describe systemic racism.

Effective altruism is called "taxation" in my country. It's been an ongoing success for a 1000 years.

Taxes are used for building roads, not curing malaria. It's so odd how angry people get when someone tries to help others.
