The author felt the pangs of racism throughout his early life and career making but he had only mentioned it in either lighter way or with soft sarcasm. That is something commendable.

He faced a lot of racism, and I would say he handled it well by overcoming it. But I would have loved to learn more about the effect of these incidents on him and how he managed to ignore or overcome them.

Its so disheartening that racial discrimination still exists among even the brightest of minds. I loved the way Frank was determined not to let it limit him.
