Definitions

The phrase 'white hope' historically refers to a white person who is expected to succeed or prevail, especially in a context where non-white individuals have been dominant. Most notably, it was used in early 20th-century boxing to describe white boxers who were seen as potential challengers to black champions. The term is now considered outdated and can be offensive due to its racial implications.
