minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•2 months agoDefinitely. I know it’s kinda written that way but I was not ready for that old man to fully lean into it. I was perplexed and wanted to turn it off. I listened through that over a decade ago and that’s still what I remember most from that audiobook.
minus-square🇸🇵🇪🇨🇺🇱🇦🇹🇪🇷linkfedilink1•2 months agoI agree that it’s uncomfortable, but I do think it was true to how it was written. I’m not sure I’d call it racist in the overt sense of the word, but as I white person, I’m not sure I’m qualified to make that judgement.
