(Ebook) Toxic Diversity: Race, Gender, and Law Talk in America by Dan Subotnik ISBN 9780814740002, 0814740006

Professor Subotnik gives a very sane and thoroughly researched discourse on the current trend in race and gender relations. Have women and minorities parlayed their victimization into a status that allows them to discriminate, victimize, badmouth, and even worse, with impunity? Does past victimization require retribution in perpetuity? These are some of the questions he addresses with wit, humor, and the odd French or Latin phrase. Occasionally the book borders on intellectual elitism, but this can be forgiven as on the whole it is quite accessible and altogether a good read. This is not a book for those who shun "politically incorrect" speech or who still believe that past victimization legitimizes reverse discrimination and worse. It is a book for all those looking to gain some insight into the whys and hows of race realtions today and some of the steps that can be taken to help swing the pendulum back to center.
