Colin Quinn has noticed a trend--Americans' increasing political
correctness have forced us to tiptoe around the subjects of race
and ethnicity. Every ethnic group has differences and this
diversity should be celebrated, not denied. So why has
acknowledging cultural differences become so taboo? In The Coloring
Book, Quinn mixes his own personal experiences with incredibly
candid and hilarious conversations with people from different
ethnic groups to discover which stereotypes they find funny, which
stereotypes are based on truths, which have become totally
distorted over time, and which are actually offensive to each
group, and why. As it pokes holes in the tapestry of fear that has
overtaken discussions about race, The Coloring Book serves as an
antidote to our paralysis when it comes to laughing at
ourselves...and others.
