What part? The “I guess we’re all a little racist.”? Do you mean I should have rewritten that too? I thought about it but was not sure to what so I left it in as self-reflection.
Or what do you mean?
I mean that the message is driven by racist thought and Hogan even admited it in the very same message. I don’t see it as self-reflection rather it is a projection of his own personal views onto others thus propagating racism as a norm, a given. People do this often to present themselves in a better light or reinforce their own beliefs.
Ah, I understand what you meant. I stumbled across this passage and thought “why would he explicitly mention that?” and I think I agree it sounds a bit like self-enrightening. I wonder if he used the words out of embitterment because he was unhappy with his daughter’s choice and wanted to “add one on top” or if, his daughter excluded, he would have used the same words and thoughts in a different, neutral context.
