Here's George's review from GoodReads

"This is is probably the most irresponsible book I've ever read on race relations.

I don't think anyone can seriously suggest that there are not issues around the effects of racism; however, the author's take on the subject makes the notion of racism so ubiquitous that it waters down and dilutes the actual meaning of the term and paints every action by whites as being motivated by the inescapable foundations of racism. It's just ridiculous.

Another issue with this is how she goes out of her way to make sure you feel guilty if you're white, but then puts the responsibility of finding solutions on the guilty racist readers. I feel if you're going to bring up problems, you should also bring up solutions.

I'd love to have a discussion around this topic so dissenting feedback is welcomed."
