There’s probably a way to do a smart piece like this that interrogates whiteness and masculinity, but this just sort of follows around a random kid and presses him abt things he hasn’t thought too deeply abt. (Bc he’s 17.)
Also, curious that he was chosen as a subject. Even for a white Republican kid in an essentially all-white Republican town that went handily for Trump, his life is essentially socially frictionless: not a lot of friends; not in any clubs; doesn’t play sports.
He’s not even in community with all the ppl around him who are just like him!
The most interesting thing about him is that he’s 6’5.
I don’t care if you can’t hoop: you better go out there on the floor and take up space and get you a scholarship, homie.

Anyway: weird story that is not terribly illuminating and is kind of boring!
