Review: The World Record Book of Racist Stories

   
by Amber Ruffin

I read this book on paper, but for the previous one (You won't believe what happened to Lacey) I listened to the audio book. I think, oddly enough, that made me like this one better. Or possibly it just was better. A horrible awful kind of better, of course, because it is about racism, after all.

In this one she branches out to include stories from her other family members, including her mother and father, who lived through a time when it wasn't even something to apologize over. Their stories were very interesting. Some made you smile a little, but only the ones where the person suffering discrimination got back at the discriminator. Which almost never happened. Wish it did!
