Reasons Why I Like This Video

Mediocrity is an interesting concept but I will try to expose my definition for it.

Mediocrity, as per the dictionary goes, is the act of being Mediocre. This is not very enlightening, and the Merriam-Webster dictionary defines it as "the quality of something that is not very good ". Yuck, what an ambiguous definition. 

Mediocrity, rather, I would say, is the position given to an individual due to his privilege. But to be mediocre this individual would have to underperfom. This is, the other individuals hoping to cover this position/task would be able to verifiably demonstrate they could outperform the mediocre individual. 

This video is good as it exposes this phenomenon from a racial point of view, and one that is systemic in the music industry for various reasons. This whitewashing is widespread in our culture. 

Nevertheless mediocrity can be seen and felt in many places, and is not solely tied to matters of privilege, class or race. 

I have yet to find a book, or study that deals with it, but surely you have come across these situations where you think; I could be definitely be doing this better than this person. Have you?
