This hurts me as a writer. Why would you keep bringing up his race unless it's important? Why wouldn't he just answer unless it was important? Who answers "maybe" if the answer is "I'm white"?

To assume he's white isn't just defaulting to white, it's also ignoring red flags from the writer.

Clearly, Gaiman should have been more clear, because just bringing up race over and over again isn't enough. If someone is not white, you need to make it very, very explicit (but assuming whiteness does not indicate that the default = white, totally).

HE DIDN'T WANT TO BE CLEAR.

Sorry to yell (okay, not really) but it's pretty obvious that Neil is making Shadow's race ambiguous because Shadow is THE Shadow of America. He represents everyone.

....I hope you're being sarcastic, but since this is the internet, I really can't tell.

Clearly this is the level of explicitness some people need in order to not default to white: http://youtu.be/WFY2kJ96jNY
