Reseña del libro "We are All Racists: The Truth about Cultural Bias (en Inglés)"
One day as a child at about 4 years of age, I uttered to my mother as she bathed me, "Be sure to wash me clean, mom." She responded, "But I always wash you clean." I quickly replied, "No, Mom, wash me clean like the kids in the Sound of Music" (the movie). This startled my mother at first, but then she immediately knew what was going on.Were you surprised at the racial divide in America over the verdicts of the O. J. Simpson and George Zimmerman trials? Divisions over race and cultural bias have surfaced in many ways in our society in the 21st century. The irony is that America is approximately 160 years post-slavery, 70 years after the Brown decision, and we have had a two-term black president. Well, the truth is, race still matters, and it always will. In his book, We are All Racists: The Truth about Cultural Bias, Dr. Allen Lewis offers a personal, theoretical, historical, data-driven, and solution-focused yet brief discussion of race. There are no indictments, there is no blame, but he lays out the truth about race and cultural bias in America today.
