This was equal parts hilarious and horrifying. Everyone needs to read this to see just how pervasive and draining racism is. My mouth definitely dropped open at the sheer nerve of some of the white people in this book. They were the worst!! Mostly though, these stories did not surprise me. I was really glad to see how Amber and Lacey turned it into comedy and were able to laugh about it.
