      18. Some personal back story: I've been reading TNR since, God help us all, 1982 or 1983.

      19. When I started reading TNR I was more conservative than I am now. I supported Progressive Conservative's Brian Mulroney & @akimcampbell

      20. But even young, conservative-leaning Jeet Heer really, really didn't like the stuff TNR published on race.

      21. I'm not black, I'm South Asian, so I didn't take stuff in magazine personally. I did think magazine had lots of weird hang ups on race.

      22. I used to read National Review & American Spectator at same as TNR. Didn't think the three magazines any different on race.

      23. In 2010 (i.e. long before Chris Hughes bought TNR) I said magazine need to have reckoning on Peretz's racism:https://sanseverything.wordpress.com/2010/09/21/the-marty-peretz-situation/ …

      24. Me in 2010: "I don’t know how the magazine can extricate itself from Peretz at this point, but I imagine that in the future..."

      26. It's sad that reckoning had to come as result of the fallout of the staff turmoil, but a reckoning on race as at TNR was long overdue

      27. Also: to be as dismissive of diversity issues is to do an injustice to @FranklinFoer, who made important outreach on race & gender.

      28. There's at least two ways to look at this issue: to focus on elite figures (Peretz, Hughes) or to look at black readers/writers.

          29. InTNR piece, I tried to broaden & deepen debate between Chait & TNC by looking at history from 1914 & also role of black writers in TNR

          30. About supposed "cynicism" motivating article: if TNR has a future it needs to win back trust of black readers it lost. Is that cynical?
