Got news for this author—if you read ANYONES’ writings from that time frame or before you will run into lots of material that is now considered insensitive and offensive when it comes to other races and/or classes. Read Lincoln, read Jefferson, read Franklin, read Rudyard Kipling, Mark Twain, etc., etc., etc.

The "racist" cartoons of Bugs Bunny in the 40's would likely result in criminal charges today, especially in the UK if the target group were Muslims instead of Japanese.

And if you really want to read some hateful stuff check out what the Chinese and Japanese had to say about each other.
