      I've read it several times since people I respect keep posting it, but I'm really not about this Eula Biss essay. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/06/magazine/white-debt.html?_r=0&pagewanted=all …

      I've enjoyed Biss's writing in the past, but this is a disappointment.

      If Eula Biss is serious about grappling with white debt, she should probably credit the people of color who came up with the concept.

      For a white person, and Eula Biss specifically, to write about white debt while obscuring this is meta. And annoying as all hell, really.

      But it's not just that: Eula Biss, like so many white folks, manages to re-center whiteness when writing about white debt. Ugh. SO ugh.

      The essay also highlights Biss's safe encounters with cops; reads like YAY! I'M WHITE AND THESE COPS CAN'T TOUCH ME SO SORRY BLACK PEOPLE.

      Speaking of which, for Eula Biss, race is white and black. There are no people who look like me in her imagination. How did she miss that?

      Oh, except for the small Playing Indian moment, which is probably the most disappointing in this essay.

      Not *exactly* Playing Indian, but her son wanting to be Indian because Little House on the Prairie? Indians only exist in the past? Mmhhmm.

      Which somehow leads her to Rachel Dolezal and this whole "Caucasians don't exist," so I guess it's ok that Dolezal did that shit? I dunno.

          When Eula Biss writes that the term Caucasian "is 18th-century pseudoscience that helped invent a white race," I just shake my head.

          Yeah, of course it's invented. But it doesn't mean it doesn't have real consequences. It often determines whether one lives of dies, dammit.

          But let's go back to Nietzsche in every other paragraph, shall we? Umm. Ok, Eula Biss, I guess. Or not. No, not really. wtf.

          Anyway, I could go on and on. I even thought about writing an essay myself, but can't bring myself to imagine going through drafts of this.

          And that's part of this too: the good whites often exhaust us. I'm tired. Tired of seeing this essay. Tired of correcting it in my mind.
