    Jonathan Franzen's answer on race: "I don't have very many black friends." I honestly doubt he even has one.pic.twitter.com/pn5ewWOH3v

        Humor aside, Franzen's race answer is indicative of the problem: for too many whites, race is about black people—and never themselves.

        If all your work is about whites and animals, you're already writing about race. Stunning that neither Franzen nor @IChotiner get that.

        Hmm. So, your second question to Franzen is if he's ever considered writing about race, right? @IChotiner

        Yet (these days) Franzen essentially write about whiteness -- that IS writing about race. Why do you fail to see that? @IChotiner

        You don't say "You do write about white people; that's writing about race." You ask about not falling in love with a black woman. @IChotiner

        you do some reporting or just speculating?

        Hmm. When I write "I honestly doubt," does that read as reporting or conjecture to you? @IChotiner

        your Twitter persona isn't condescending enough. Maybe ratchet it up from like 9.8 to 9.9 on the 1-10 scale

        As usual white people assume race is solely about black people or anyone but them... As if whiteness isn't racial project. :-/ @aurabogado
