this story would have been much improved w/o the rampant racist themes --the way poc was discussed didn't need to be such a strong facet of the plot and took away from any enjoyment I had of the story.

I wouldn't let children read this, despite the story structure itself being well-built. The bigotry is just so thickly interwoven in the plot that it couldn't be removed even in editing - Millie's plotline itself, and the alienism assigned to Tacroy are inherently racist and orientalist.
Sexism is present in this story, but it's assigned to the main antagonist and it's supposed to be one of his evil traits, but it's quite subtle in the end when Christopher overcomes his learned sexism when he accepts Millie as his equal... It could've been more integrated how Ralph's sexism is (or could've been) one of the reasons for his demise.
