I know racism doesn't make logical sense but I am still confused as to why Linda is racist even though she married a black guy and has mixed race kids. (Like I know she is racist, based on her previous actions and treatment of Sal, but how does she manage to rationalize herself? How does her husband rationalize it?)

I was doing a re-read, and I just remembered that Walky is completely aware of his mom's (or he even says parents) racism about who he dates.

Lucy should work on reading between lines. Not everyone's going to be upfront about their behavior, there's going to be some passive aggressiveness here and some two faceness there from some people.

Now I notice that Walky uses 'Jennifer' just as easily as he used to use 'Billie'. Nice to use peoples' real names!
I know, it should be obvious, but isn't as often as it should.

“Oh, that’s on account of me unfairly projecting my anger at Walky, and related fear of losing my ego-important alpha bongo status onto him. But I have a poor track record of owning up to my flaws!”
