She further clarified that her social media post about \"white privilege\" was a statement of her playing style, not a reaction to the foul. Carrington, a Stanford graduate with degrees in Psychology and African-American/Black Studies, also addressed the WNBA's need for consistency in penalizing fouls, expressing her hope for equal treatment regardless of player identity or game circumstances.",
