The most interesting part of this story is the reader is never told the race of the Twyla or Roberta.
When I read through the story the first time, I assumed that Twyla was white and Roberta was black. But then going through the story the second time, it is never stated which is which. I believe the reader is supposed to identify with the story. The reader's race is meant to reflect the race of the characters.
If the author did this on purpose, I think it is to show how we visualize and also to be an eye opener.
