The “only white english culture is the way of civilized men” message was… definitely something… the absolute BLATANT fatphobia was also something… like, at least give the kid an actual name instead of a degrading nickname name…
Again, this could’ve been good (it’s a good book! It’s enjoyable!) but it aged so poorly and has so many terrible decisions that I can’t see it having much more repercussion in the future…
