Apparently, based upon the (single) 2-star review at Amazon, the author of this book chooses to exercise Political Correctness in his treatment of this subject. That's his choice--authors in countries with liberal free speech rights have a wide latitude about expressing their opinions. But it's too bad, because the seriousness of the subject tends to be lessened in some people's minds when bogus examples are thrown in like the author apparently does. Discerning readers know when they're being fed a crock of crap, however.
On a lighter side, it's interesting that the publisher and/or author calls it the world's oldest prejudice. That's tongue-in-cheek, I hope. Because how would anyone know that? It's like the description of prostitution as "the world's second oldest profession." How would anyone know that? Again, you've got to believe that it's humor, and that it's meant to emphasize how
very old that profession has to be. Anyway, the subtitle of the book does make you think . . . .
I'm buying the audiobook.
