A Racial Bias

Nina, your article really moved me. I wrote in your author's email at BOL, and I tried to send it 3 times. You've got 3 mails from me or none!

Based on impressions that I got from your article, I went to Amazon and bought one of your Kindle books. It does not disappoint! You are blessed with so much talent.

Thank you so much, Connie! I haven't received your email yet, but I will be on the lookout for it. I really appreciate you taking the time to send kind words my way!
