What is another word for great white hope?
Pronunciation: [ɡɹˈe͡ɪt wˈa͡ɪt hˈə͡ʊp] (IPA) 
The term "Great White Hope" was originally used to describe a white boxer who was seen as a hope to defeat a black champion. Over time, the term has taken on a broader meaning to denote a person or thing that is seen as a savior or champion in a given situation. However, the term has also been criticized for its racial connotations and for promoting a white supremacist worldview. Some suggested synonyms for "Great White Hope" may include "champion," "hero," "savior," "leader," "advocate," or "defender." Such alternatives avoid the racial implications of the original term and do not imply that whiteness is superior in any way.
