Racism and prejudice can seem like such huge issues that one might wonder where to even start in making a difference. This book suggests that you do not laugh at jokes made at others’ expense, stand up for victims in a safe way, educate yourself, check your own attitudes and behavior. A brief overview of slavery and the Holocaust precede discussion of the individual and social repercussions of persecuting those who are different. This volume is part of the “Straight Talk About…” series, which includes the titles Cutting and Self-Injury, Child Abuse, Date Rape, Racism and Prejudice, Suicide, and Teen Pregnancy.
