| Leaving aside questions about the veracity of Grissom's "quotes," he included that statement. When a writer thinks his interviewee says something irrelevant, they leave it out. So in what way was this comment on her being married to a white man relevant? So did Grissom leave this in to undercut the credibility of he interviewee? Probably not. Did he leave it in to show how even Nottage's critics are so blinded that they criticize even the most innocuous things she does? Probably not. In the absence of any clear reason for leaving this in and given the absence of comment, it seems likely that Grissom is including this because he feels he it is a valid point. |

| And yet believing something to be a valid point doesn't make it one. People who call out mixed-race couples presumably believe their argument, but that doesn't make their argument valid. |

| Agreed. Nowadays we hear statements constantly from people who presumably believe their utterly invalid arguments about all kinds of things. The subject of intermarriage (whether racial, religious, or even just ethnicity) has always been popular. That does not make this sort of judgmentalism morally (or intellectually) defensible. | |

| Yes, that was the whole point. | |
