Matthew Graf Of Oakland You DO See Race! This is to Matthew Graf of Oakland who got on Facebook and wrote that where I see color with respect to who runs the old Serenader, he sees a business then said "at the end, Serenader was owned by an Asian lady". Which means he sees race and color. I am asking him to stop being the kind of SF Bay Area white person who says they don't see race but then proves they do without realizing it. This has gone way too far. Time to stop. Mathew Graf was implying that the Heart and Dagger was better now because it's owner and customers were white. He was called out in Facebook chat but I believe in vlogging. via YouTube http://youtu.be/WJo1pvNasLs
