>I've seen more racism in 30 pages of this novel than in any novel about european colonialism. The book caught my attention, but it's a real shame the author had to resort to trash talking classical culture and disrespecting white people, and what's more scandalous is that there are readers who are willing to overlook this despite the pains she takes to pointlessly slander whites. I'm not a white person at all by American standards, but that doesn't give me any more reason to gloss over her ridiculous attempt to punch down a whole ethnicity. This isn't brave or politically correct, it's an outrageous and cowardly way to offend countless people, which i imagine could nonetheless be potential buyers that are alienated by the author's outspoken racism and bigotry.
