I think that you may correct your statement of hating Germans on page 208. This bothers me because I disliked how you blatantly stated that you disliked Germans.   One thing I am wondering is what compelled you to write the book __Race__. I know many people write because of personal experiences. On your dedication page, you informed the readers that your cousin, Mariam “Madla” Groag, was put in a concentration camp and then died of illness. Possibly, that inspired you to include some references to the Nazis and their concentration camps. I would like to know, for the rest of the book, are there personal reasons for including the certain parts? <span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'"> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'"> Some of my favorite things about your book is how you named the chapters. One of the most interesting one to me is, “‘Know Your Enemy’“. The one that confused me is, “‘American Subhumans’” which is on page 93. I like how the chapter title fits the body so well though. <span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'"> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'"> I think the best way to redo your expressing of Germans is to emphasize the dislike of the Nazis. If there is another personal reason why you dislike Germans, then you could allow the reader to know that. I appreciate you taking this time to read my letter and hope you enjoyed it. <span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'"> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'"> Sincerely, <span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'"> David Gong
