Did I only get on the team because I was black?

Question

So I was trying out for a hockey team, and they're a really good team, I really believed I wasn't gonna make the team because all the other players were a lot better then me.
During tryouts I was slow and I didn't understand the drills they were telling us to do so I messed those up. All the other girls got everything right and they were fast.
At the end of tryouts they told us the results were gonna be posted at the end of the day on Sunday. I just read them today and I made the team. But during tryouts I was the worst one on the ice. With everything that's happening in the world I'm just wondering if I only got in because I'm black

Does it matter. This could be your breakout time to shine.

Maybe they see something more in you.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Make them see they made the right choice and stop thinking about skin color.

Learn from Steve Harvey. His quote" Don't make it a black thing, make it a human thing."

That's sound first like ok, but then racist. Because you get in, because your race. not your skill

I don't think so. Maybe the coaches and evaluators saw talent in you, that you are coachable, so they want to have you on the team to develop your abilities!
