I finished this book yesterday.
It's nice to read about others examining their privilege & its implications.
I liked the autobiographical viewpoint & how the author illustrates how deeply ingrained stereotypes & bigotry are in our society.
Good read.

There is staggering cruelty in intentionally making life more difficult for an already disadvantaged & marginalized community.
This will negatively impact someone you know & it will echo throughout their entire life.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Hey team, I'm your friendly neighborhood mental health professional.
I'm checking in today to remind you that conversation therapy isn't therapy, it's just torture.
Don't torture kids folks.

Also, this only works if you're opponent has a conscience and does not delight in the suffering of others.
