Maybe not racist but still slightly uneducated. She’s moving so “effortlessly” because she’s playing with a capo and it’s a 5-1 Chord progression. (The two chords she needs are Both in her palm, thus no string sliding sound). And it’s really up to the recording engineer to get either mic the fretting band or not. Lots of engineers love that sound because it makes the whole performance sound more natural
