I was at Indigo and I randomly picked out this book because the title caught my attention and wow it's hilarious!
A worker and the person at the cash register both said it was an amazing book, and I honestly cannot put this book down right now.

(Please don't turn this into a bashing thread/topic on racism. I'm just really enjoying this book and want to know if anyone else has read it, and if not, it's just a suggestion if you have a sense of humour)

QUOTE
A Practical Guide to Racism tackles America’s tragic flaw from a new, illuminating perspective. As a world-renowned expert on ethnography, as well as phrenology and the rhythm method, C.H. Dalton is uniquely qualified to offer his perspective on this difficult topic.

The book is divided into nine chapters, one for each of the nine races: Whites, Blacks, Jews, Asians, Indians (and Injuns), Arabs, Gypsies, Hispanics, and Merpeople. In each chapter, Dalton provides a comprehensive and unapologetic handbook to the race in question, as well as a history of their oppression, and a guide to the stereotypes about them and their basis in fact.

In several helpful appendixes, Dalton examines, in turn, sexual races like Gays and Women, ancient races like Phoenicians and Doozers, and interracial dating. He also provides a handy guide to “The Good Ones” from each race, and their crania.

Finally, Dalton has compiled the first complete glossary of racial epithets, including a selection of his own suggestions for additional slurs. Like “Frazetta,” a slur for a rugged, muscled white person holding a battleaxe. (E.g., “Hey, look at that Frazetta standing triumphantly over the corpse of that Orc!”)


I especially liked his take on interracial dating! (Mind you, this is all satire, so try not to take any offence.)

QUOTE
Interracial Dating

Dating between the races is common, but not encouraged.
If you do plan to procreate interracially, I encourage you to laminate this chart and keep it in your wallet at all times.

I feel it's somewhat true about the asian women. They'll date any race.

Haha true, but I think it's more about every race having an Asian fetish/Yellow fever smile.gif
