white hope
"White hope" is a term that originated in the early 20th century, particularly in the context of boxing, referring to a white athlete who is hoped or expected to overcome or outperform a successful athlete of a different race, often black. The term can be controversial and seen as inherently racist, as it can imply interracial competition and racial superiority. The term has been broadened to include any person who is expected to bring success, hope, or fulfill expectations in any area, not just athletics.
