Have you read the book? It's very clearly written with tongue in cheek. I mean there's a whole chapter about driving around Belfast in a fire-engine and spraying holy water over everyone so that they ALL get baptised catholic.

And the opening chapter, where he explains the "Stupid White Men" title makes perfect sense to me. He's trying to illustrate that the United States is still a racist society, and I think he succeeds.

I'm not saying every single line of the book is spot-on, but as a humorous take on modern society and the various conflicts within it, it's better than most.
