Yeah, I find the rage-filled response to it pretty baffling. I think it must have something to do with how long it takes for the central girl to fully transition out of her ignorant racism. Like, she starts having questions within the first quarter of the book, but IIRC it takes most of the first book for her to fully shift gears.

The students who are "other" at her school are extremely hostile towards her due to her race and family background, and she's basically helpless to defend herself because despite being a "privileged whitey" she's basically a squib. So it takes her a while to work through the fear and anger she feels at being bullied by these people she's been taught to hate and fear, and realize that they're directing their fury at her for some very significant reasons.

But if someone's all keyed up to hate the book already, the first third of the book doesn't do much to deconstruct the main character's ignorant beliefs.

I guess not. Interesting stuff!
