*hugs* and this is a great post, though I'm sorry you had to write it. :((( I had that book on my TBR list, but now I will be skipping it. It also makes me not want to reread any of her books I liked when I was younger.
in fact, that when I finally hit a breaking point and say something, people ask me "but why are you so angry?" This, when as it is, I bite my tongue less- but more strategically- than I used to, and with more explanation.
Oh, yes. I'm always like (at least in my head), "You haven't even seen angry yet," (but if you keep going down this road of perpetuating racism, you will).
