The comment wasn't about you, it was about articles written by people who want to try very hard to Be Encouraging, an affliction which inhibits adults from seeing children and, in advanced cases, minorities, as people, instead of Things Which Need Encouragement. The end result is articles which are incapable of talking about the achievements, and instead talk about the achievers, as if "encouragement" consists of having your life story plastered on the nearest piece of media.
