You raise a valid point. Our celebration of "Minority successes" does often border on infantilization. This is a sentiment that comes up in the disability community: "I don't exist to inspire you, I just want to live my life and be respected like anyone else." It's a fine line. As more fields (I.e, CS) have visible minority successes, this need will fade. But we are not there yet.
