one more thing

I question the phrasing of the title of the second piece, a tern Anne uses in the conversation, "whiteness on the page." When I first read it, I thought it would be a discussion of racial priveledge in printed texts. Why use "whiteness" instead of "an empty page"? I think here might be an instance in humanities where social responsibility and being aware of the implications/interpretations of your words might fit in. I'm not saying whiteness shouldn't be used, just saying that it should be used deliberately knowing the contexts in which the word is discussed. Wow! The difficulties of languages and vocabularies...
