   Hi Sam,

   Thank you! Honestly thank you! I have yet to buy your amazing study; but this is as a young student excatly how I feel. This “White Interiority” in my experience extendeds not just in Swansea University itself but also on the TV with the lack of white straight men representation in the lead roles on the TV and always villanising the men & people like my mum think I’m extreme. But I am not. I never use to hate anyone. But the aftermath of George Floyd has currently made me antagonistc to bascially the entire world. This is the first study to address and provide solutions and get the ball rolling for change for a better future.

   For that you are infintiely deserving of my respect for giving me a voice!

   Kind regards,
   Yours sincerely.
   Hugh,

   P.s. It almost feels like the outside world doesn’t want me because I am not a female, immigrated or homosexual.

   thank you Hugh! I appreciate your enthusiasm and I look forward to the talk. I’m glad the book speaks to your experience, though I might add that there are elements to the argument, and the “ambivalence” with which I approach the new racial sensibility that should also be taken into account. I hope you get a chance to read carefully the opening part of chapter 3, which discusses “Whitey”s shame and how it might serve in an anti-racist politics. In any case, perhaps I’ll hear a comment from you at the talk. cheers! — sam
