I know it's well-intentioned, and I know American society has very real structural race problems which shouldn't be ignored or denied, but articles like this really risk being patronizing, and worse, implying that most or all black childhoods are as flawed as the one described.

Welcome to the American Media Establishment. It's better to just read FT and SCMP while only skimming the NYT/Fox/etc.

Why the South China Morning Post?

SCMP was acquired by Alibaba and has become more supportive of Chinese Communist Party: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/south-china-morning-post/ . I can't vouch for this analysis. I think they are not what they used to be.

That's unfortunate, I didn't know that. But they used to be fairly unbiased and critical of the Chinese government.

They used to be high quality. Many news organizations have dropped a few notches. It is unfortunate that Hong Kong has lost its independence and suffering more and more from Chinese Communist policies.
