I used to work at A&F, where my glamorous job title was "Model." Unless you wanted to be stuck in the back, you had to apply as a "model" so that they could legally take your appearance into account in hiring and firing. I had my photo taken and sent to corporate twice in my 3 months. I quit because my coworkers' conversations consisted of "God, you're hot. I'm hot. Isn't it awesome to be hot? I want to go to the beach. I'm stoned."

I was going to have sex tonight, but now I kind of don't feel like it. That was a lady-boner killer.

My dad grew up white and poor in the Boston area, and made across racial divides through pickup basketball (he's been 6'3" since age 15, and still plays in an over-40 league with other former college players). When he moved to Maryland after college, and wandered around in his Larry Bird jersey looking for a game, it took 3 different guys starting fights with him before he realized: everyone assumed he was trying to be a racist asshole with that shirt. He didn't wear it again.
Boston has it's share of embedded racism, in regular society and in the police force (and I say that as a cop's niece), but I think something about the nature of the city itself - the history, the public figues associated with it, something - is partly responsible for that, not just the actual current residents. (Of course, residents absorb that stuff, internalize it...)
The Celtics were the "whitest" basketball team. The names of the city and surrounding towns call up images of white Brits and white colonists and John Adams and Kennedys. Irish pride, even the most inncuous shamrock stickers in bar windows and tacky Celtic-knot tattoos, can feel a little like "pale, freckled people pride" at times; the Italian pride in the area can feel exclusionary, too. Even if every white person in the city was anti-racist in their hearts, something about the history and character of the city will always feel *white* - which means it will always come off a little hostile to the black people who make up 25% of the population, and to the rest of the country. I love my city but this has always seemed so obvious and so upsetting to me.

I read (most of) this book. It was a cool idea, but the story itself was kind of redundant.
