Okay. Now I want all books which refer to "white trash" and "trailer trash" banned, hillbilly, etc., too, for slurs against caucasians!

Jim, in the story, bore a title reflecting his station in life, in similar proportion to the way "white trash" refers to being "white".

But then, it requires far less effort to complain than to learn.

And I also want to sue the BET network (Black Entertainment Television) for constantly and unapologetically hosting black comics who slam and caricature white people in the most unflattering ways that they can possibly think of.

To them, this is 'comedy'.

Particularly when learning involves 'reading a book', which is an activity that is completely alien to far too many in our society, as well as grasping the concept of "historical context" which also is beyond the abilities of many.
