I had the same reaction to Kitty's Big Trouble. It wasn't clear to me whether the author was just being gross or if she was trying to depict the grossness that lots of white suburban Americans have. Kitty grew up in a suburb in Colorado, not exactly the most diverse place ever, so I'd expect her to be ignorant and offensive. But Vaughn doesn't handle it nearly as well as she does the gender and power stuff.
