Holy shiiiiiiiiit. I'm shaking. I'm ashamed of being white (even though I'm not the "correct" de of white) and I felt so many things while reading this book that I couldn't even gather myself. The linguistics porn was an excellent bonus but the political issues discussed were just 👌👌👌👌

I'm seeing a lot of low rating reviews and I'm sure that's because this book made people uncomfortable. Maybe they're too comfortable or too young to read this. I absolutely loved it
