bigotry?

i'm reading this book called zoe. but a few things disturb me.

"Stick's window wouldn't open, and the old Pakistani lady sitting next to her smelled like a used Kitty Litter box."

racist anot?

"... but not so Oriental that the lady from Des Moines would think that the stuff is just for Chinks."

racist or not?

it's not gonna stop me from continuing to read it but it still unsettles me. the writer obviously thinks it's okay to stereotype and label minorities. do i care? do i have to care? fuckit. read. read. reading's good for you.
