Lo and behold a white man born in 1904 had racist attitudes.
I read late 19th century classic sci fi books and some of the authors can't not let their supremacism influence their work. I brush over it because it was the sign of the times.
What's funnier to me is when the woke brigade wanna fault creatives like Dr. Suess for his work lacking diversity when that wasn't his climate back then. Sure, do away with the overtly racist stuff but take the rest of the fantastical story telling for what it is... A bit of wonder and fun.
