Why should an author have to write "this character is of the black race" instead of "this character has coffee-colored skin," or "this character has dark brown skin?"

That's kind of the point of this discussion: people overlook what are actually very explicit descriptors in order to keep assuming that characters are white. All "reading carefully" means is "actually paying attention."

[likeadeuce]

Because racial identity is about more than skin tone. Because it's made explicit that people can't tell Shadow's race by looking at him. And because the coffee-color thing is widely mocked in writing about this issue: see here and here just for starters.)

And -- people on this thread ARE actually discussing textual details in the book (the conversation with the guard, the 'sickle-cell' reference) and having different interpretations of what they mean. This is the opposite of "not paying attention."
