seems to be it was just one interview. It would be a bit unfair to focus only on one interview, maybe the participants didn't get along, maybe the author had an agenda, maybe JW was high. I don't know but give him at least the courtesy of a broader investigation?
My question was there any other evidence of JW's racism outside that interview?
Are there other interviews, mentions of racism in books of the times, biographies of contemporaries or writings of JW himself that would corroborate?
