But I genuinely think that for many it’s not clear why 5 is not part of a good apology. I think “imagine it is being spoken to a black person” is a great intuition pump.
In addition, if half of your paragraphs are discussing something that is irrelevant to the stated purpose of the piece of writing, at worst people will question if that’s really why you’re writing and at best will detract from effect you’re trying to achieve.
I liked this, thank you. Also well written.
