I dont understand why he cant understand it then. Its one thing to be absolutely obsessed with race, but it should totally make sense why it was at least a topic that held up some space in the dude in the article's mind

If you read the article the guy just mentions that race has influenced his life, not that its some all encompassing force he's fixated on
