Ok, I'm going to ask. When Saturninus says that Tamora is "A goodly lady, trust me, of the hue/That I would choose were I to choose anew" (1.1.265-6) does he mean white? I have never read that as white. Whiteness is usually not a hue, is it? It's a lily or something. #ShakeRace

Agreed! Just to be clear, I was not reading Tamora as black. But "hue" does mark her as other, (as Royster points out). I suppose I had something more like brown in mind. I agree that whiteness does need to be seen as racialized.
