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. I highly recommend their writings, especially Kipling's travels in the US and the Orient.
