Making Friends with Black People
In an interview with
National Public Radio interviewer Ed Gordon, Adams says "boredom" was the impetus that drove him to write Making Friends with Black People.[3] He was living in Tucson, Arizona
at the time, a place without a substantial Black community. Adams notes that the comedic tone of his book allows people to be more "open" to some of the things he has to say, which might have otherwise come across as offensive.
In the book, Adams discusses many themes pertinent to the Black community, including his preference for the term "
African American". "It makes more sense than the others in every way", says Adams. "Phonetically, it's no contest. One syllable versus multi-syllabic hyphenates. Black wins hands down. Although initially it doesn't conjure the lofty bourgeois imagery of the other terms, it depicts a more realistic portrayal of who we really are."[4]
