I think we should assume he was talking about LeVar Burton because he's famous for his love of knowledge and beloved by Americans, and very much fits the role and culture of the show. Have you ever seen Reading Rainbow? (Or even TNG?) Everyone's been talking about how apropos that'd be, try googling "LeVar Burton Jeopardy".

If I didn't know better, I'd think you were trying to make this about race.
