[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 15:43 again. I am a foreign non-white person, but my spouse is from a small white blue collar town in the US, and the downfalls shown in the book (drugs, young pregnancy, instability in relationships) is not really news to me, from seeing the lives of some extended family of my spouse. It made me appreciate the role of religion and military more - I viewed it negatively as a naive young liberal person, but now have seen that spouse's extended family with religion and/or military in the background have better lives. Aren't most Americans already aware of what's shown in the book?[/quote] They don't seem to know that most black people don't live in the ghetto/have multiple kids with no fathers/are criminals so I'd say, no, not all Americans are aware of what's shown in the book.
