The only slur in this book is the g-word for Romani people in one portion of narrative. Rather jarring for first-time readers since the rest of the book is quite wholesome.singalana's review against another edition

Charming as always, this was a reread and I remember Emma being the first of Austen's books that I ever read. They really do feel timeless in how authentic the characters feel.
I will say a bit of racism with having Romani ppl scare Harriet but also how accurate it was in terms of how the Romani do nothing to actually deserve being hated was darkly funny. It's literally just children begging and a full grown woman is fainting and acting like she's going to be killed 🙄
