Learning from an Unimportant Minority Quotes

“Race is notoriously notoriously slippery, awkward to hold onto as a subject, yet totally all around us. Totally. All the time, every day, we breathe it; after all, it is us, so we can’t ever be far from it. This seeming contradiction of what should be so simple being endlessly complicated in society is because how we think about race, how we talk about race... capi­talism is constantly trying to police this. They don’t want to neaten it, they actually want to constrict it and keep remaking it in their own distorted images and stamping it on our faces.”
― J. Sakai, Learning from an Unimportant Minority: Race Politics Beyond the White/Black Paradigm
