But the concept of race is not logical. You can ask questions about whiteness all you want, but those have the same quality of answers as questions about Asianness and Africanness.


Who says it has to be logical? It’s embedded in the social fabric of the United States. It can’t be dismissed out of hand. It must be recognized and addressed.
