Boxing legend Muhammad Ali, who died in 2016, explained how he used to ask his mother about white representation in an interview with Michael Parkinson in 1971. In this interview, Ali remembered posing the question to his mother: “Why is everything white?” He recalled being curious about Jesus being white. He pontificated as to why all angels were white—why Angel food cake is white while Devils-food cake’s the chocolate dessert. He talked about all the products of his time that were labeled “white” like White Swan soap, King White soap and White Cloud tissue paper. Oh, and where does the president live? The White House. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
