American Fixation

I went on social media, saw that a discussion has been raging for two days as to whether Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights is black, and realized that I will never be truly American.

This fixation on race is incomprehensible to me. Even my child tells me that “Grace is darker than Josette, and Tina is blacker than they both”, and I honestly don’t get it.
