Living in America as a Honduran I have experience and seen racism in a small podunk town and in cities. Reading about systematic racism in London from husband and wife was different from all the other books I have read. I love that they discuss how they have experience racism then give the reader tips to overcome these misconstrued preconceptions and succeed despite all the attempts to oppress them.
The "you look smarter with your hair that way" I was floored and the fact that she called them out on what they said was giving me life. You think people would know not to say dumb ish like that by now but nope. I have had people call me Muslim like what ok way to show your ignorance and I expect that from certain wypipo in America but according to this book London acts like they are not racist just like Americans do. I'm inspired to work twice as hard to visit once quaratina is over :)
