No, they don't have to be directly involved but surely an involvement greater than just having matching skin tones would be ideal.

It's not that difficult to grasp, someone growing up a certain way and being made to feel like they're not as good, or bad or worthless can have a very negative impact on someone.

And then seeing someone with that same thing, wether it be skin tone, disability, social awkwardness, being a nerd etc succeed. You feel proud of their success and relate to it on a personal level.

It's psych 101 man

Edit: I had a really short hispanic friend growing up. And Rey Mysterio was his god. xD

I can understand people relating to other people who are successful, sure. Collective racial pride itself is nonsense. No one ever put any work towards being born into the skin tone they were born into. People being proud of their skin color is silly. An achievement that requires zero effort.
