In Pursuit of Understanding Race
Joe had always been on a qualitative quest to understand his history and the racism that he had experienced. The quantitative data that said he was part Egyptian, part Nigerian, and part Irish did not matter to him even though he did not know which race to put on questionnaires. And he never took advantage of quotas, which would have allowed him to go to the best schools. He was in hot pursuit of his own answer and there were no quaint solutions.
