I think that whiteness is in fact an important part of one's identity. You're correct in assuming that I am white, by the way. I guess why I did not mention it here is because I was listing ways in which I identified which were radical. I guess I don't tend to assume that identifying as white is radical, though I do see the necessity of acknowledging one's whiteness and the privileges that come with it. Thanks for your very insightful comment and I am sorry it has taken so long to get back to you! I agree with you, Katie. I think that whiteness is in fact an important part of one’s identity.
