"other cultures"

[toastykitten]

I'm starting to feel like all my public posts should just be titled "Everything is Stupid/Evil". Anyway, I was checking out Barnes and Noble's summer reading lists for my daughter, and I noticed that they had one for adults. Oh, neat. Let's check out the "Stories of Other Cultures" list, shall we? 

1. Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian - Sherman Alexie
2. House on Mango Street - Sandra Cisneros
3. Joy Luck Club - AMY FUCKING Tan
4. The Freedom Riders Diary - blurb literally says "Straight from the front line of urban America"\
5. AMERICAN BORN CHINESE - Gene Luen Yang

The list is fine. The name for the list is WRONG.
Anyway, resources on helping immigrants and their children: USA Today, Cool Mom Picks, Jezebel.

Also, if you have a green card and are residing in the US, please get your citizenship TODAY.
