My comments:
“Cannot have too many” is the tricky phrase here, Gil. To paraphrase the last line:
Hapa Girl serves as a reminder of the terrible things Americans do to each other due to their differences in skin color. This is a good reminder and we need more books like this because America cannot have enough good reminders of its raciest past.
In other words, the more such books, the better.
Now, “cannot have too many” is a set phrase. It means you cannot have enough of something. Well, normally we CAN have enough of anything. Money, for instance, is great if we have enough of it. Not too much, just enough, not even more than enough because it can be too much of a good thing (ask any ultra rich and they’ll tell you how terrible it can be to have more money than you know what to do with – if they’re truly honest with themselves, that is).
Anyways, if you cannot have too many of something, you cannot have enough of it. And that means you want more of it. In other words, the more you have it, the merrier you are.
Here are two recent media examples:
1. Nobody can ever have too many pairs of jeans, and thus the philosophy of GOV Retailing is to make them available on the cheap — a notion that is paying off for the new g.u. chain.
GOV Retailing, a wholly owned subsidiary of Fast Retailing Co., began selling ¥990 jeans at its 69 g.u. outlets on March 10. That's a quarter of what denim pants sell for at Fast Retailing's Uniqlo stores, which have set the new standard for low-priced clothing and are thriving on the recession...
