Weiße Schriftsteller entscheiden sich in vielen Fällen dafür, ihre Fiktion nicht mit Farbigen zu bevölkern. Vieles, was ich tue, ist der Versuch, dagegen zu schreiben, nicht über die Rasse, sondern gegen die Vermeidung der Rasse, die im weißen literarischen Diskurs ein dominantes Modell ist.

My intention throughout has been to write, to create literature, and to be able to look people in the eye after I'd done it - the people I'd written about.

After writing 'The Omnivore's Dilemma,' I wanted to write a book that got past the choir, that got to people who didn't care about how their food was grown but who did care about their health.

That's what liberalism is all about, is promoting incompetence on the basis it's fair, because people would be the best if they weren't discriminated against.
