Interesting quote on performing to whiteness.
"The tenants would have loved to watch us screaming at each other, and so we did our best to deny them that pleasure. Alone in the car we were savages, but at The Empire we were ambassadors for our race, acting not like the normal white people we'd grown up with but like the exceptional white people we vaguely remembered from random episodes of Masterpiece Theatre" (94)

Not as funny as I thought it would be, but I'm interested in learning more about his family, mainly how they influenced the way he interacts with the world around him. I'm only a few chapters in but it's clear that there's a lot going on underneath the surface.
I feel like I'm trying to study his life and figure everything out. There was one moment where I actually laughed, the rest had me going "huh... interesting"
