Is the caption complimentary or derogatory? Did the author see "black" as a handicap that Haben Girma had overcome like her blindness and deafness? Perhaps I'm just being hypersensitive with all this racial tension these days...but I've seen melanin-challenged folks that are darker than both of them. Are their races faded?

😬

Haben's mother is from Africa (Eritrea), but she was born in California...maybe she is truly African-American (if she has dual citizenship). But, Africa is a continent, so that would make her Eritrean-American or an American-Eritrean...How about we just stop at American!
