Answer: Because of the experiences narrated in the interviews.

Lois Benjamin is the author of the book "The Black Elite," a book that explores racial identities and experiences among high-achieving people of color in the United States.

Through in-depth interviews, Benjamin was able to hear stories that showed that racism is still alive in America. She concluded that even for that "black elite," racism remains an everyday concern and a source of anxiety in the development of their identity.
