Look at it like this. Take away any reference about the kids race. After reading the article most people would have assumed the kid was either White (or maybe Asian) if you were racist or not. That's why you must acknowledge minorities success. Racism was created on the basis of inequality, so I feel that once you can prove that everyone can contribute on the same level racism will die.
But that's just my opinion.
