Editorial Reviews: Product Description A look at the races of the world by a lovable bigot, capturing the proud history and bright future of racism in one handy, authoritative, and deeply offensive volume Meet C. H. Dalton, a professor of racialist studies and an expert on inferior people of all ethnicities, genders, religions, and sexual preferences. Presenting evidence that everyone should be hated, A Practical Guide to Racism contains sparkling bits of wisdom on such subjects as: · The good life enjoyed by blacks, who shuffle through life unhindered by the white mans burdens, to become accomplished athletes, rhyme smiths, and dominoes champions · The sad story of the industrious, intelligent Jews, whose entire reputation is sullied by their taste for the blood of Christian babies · A close look at the bizarre, sweet-smelling race known as women, who are not very good at anythingespecially ruling the free world · A crucial manual to Arabs, a people so sensitive they are liable to blow up at any time. Literally. Including a comprehensive glossary of timeless epithets, with hundreds of pejorative words for everyone from Phoenicians to Jews, A Practical Guide to Racism is an essential field guide for our multicultural world.

Beondo 1 out of 1 found this review helpful This book has a certain amount of truthiness to it, and as it was (allegedly) written by a member of The Colbert Report's writing staff, there should be no true surprise. But, bypassing all that, it is almost like coming across some alternate reality history book, where all the unvarnished discriminatory natures seen and known all our lives had actual factual backup. Many times during my reading of this book, I had to stop reading because I had to wrap my head around a statement about some racial group that made my head hurt, both from shock and to keep from bursting out loud in an inappropriate place (like a morning rush-hour train) especially since I made no attempt to cover the book's title. I can see why some people would totally trash this book, if you read it as a straight book, but it makes such a device of more or less telling you straight out this is not going to be a serious discourse on racism, that if you don't GET that, you are as dumb as this book thinks you are. I was recommended this book by a friend of mine in the military, who was turned on to it by a member of his unit (who happens to be a prominent member of one of the many non-White races described within), who took to quoting from it out loud at random. Believe me, as (or, if) you read this book, you will see many quotable quotes, just be sure you know what kind of company you keep, because some of these statements, out of their humorous context, could get you hurt.... I broadly recommend it, just be sure to read with an open mind and sense of humor, or you'll miss the point. Reason July 10, 2009 D. Lee 1 out of 1 found this review helpful This is a great book as long as you understand where the writer is coming from. It's basically a book that is racist to everyone and presents it in such a sarcastic manner that you realize how ridiculous racism can be. You should definitely get a good kick out of it if you don't mind racist comments. Not racist enough... June 13, 2009 S. Gagel 2 out of 14 found this review helpful This book is too politically correct. I imagine a guide to racism would at least be racy, but it was not. It was also extremely offensive to whites as the "white" section of the book had a more harsh review than the other races. I imagine this is the author's way of saying "hey, this is a joke, i'm not really racist, see I hate whites too LOL!". Well sir, I am not amused. I want a real guide to racism, not a watered down, Sunday morning cartoon depiction of racism. I am sorry to say that after reading this book, I did not learn a single racist joke or learn a new hurtful stereotype. If you enjoy real controversy and books dripping with testosterone (like the Alphabet of Manliness), then this book is not for you. On the other hand, if you find Garfield to be racy and blush when listening to the blue color comedy tour, then this book is for you. This book is full of watered down racism and if Carlos Mencia hasn't stolen some jokes from this book, he likely will. 3 Stars, for the three smiles it gave me while reading it. Once on the front cover, once for the covetous Jew section, and once when I finished it. gutteral laughter May 28, 2009 Rusty Becker This is one of the funniest books that I have read in a long while. I almost did not read it, but someone had left it at work. I had forgotten my reading material that day, and after a while I decided to pic it up and take a look. The book was nothing what I expected. It is an extremely smart and funny look at the different ethnic groups of human beings (and merpeople). If you want a laugh on almost every page, give this book a try. Improved My Racism Measureably! February 14, 2009 Travis Pelt (Kayaking through DC) 3 out of 7 found this review helpful My racism was really put to the test in 2008. I was studying Arab history, middle east politics, Persian history and language, and Native American folklore then I traveled Europe, got married by a black female reverend with a gay organist and then campaigned for Barrack Obama. Seriously, this was my 2008. It was a wonderful year. By the way, in Farsi Obama breaks out to Ooh ba ma; He is with us. I will never understand how that slogan was overlooked in the US Persian community. Again, seriously. Anyway, this book is humorous, however, I would have to recommend Bloom County over it.
