Thompson	Gunga Din. Racist or just of its time? (147* d)	RE: Gunga Din. Racist or just of its time?	04 Feb 24
Yes, he was a wonderful writer of fiction; as a child I had a spell of a dangerously infections disease and was given only books that could be burnt after reading, so I read a lot of 19th-century books considered suitable for children. I loved the stories, but references to "fuzzy wuzzies" and other supposedly inferior races not so much. I found the combination of kindness and heroism with contempt for different humans hard to code.
