In Her Own Right

My enjoyment of the tale itself was more of a 4.5. However, I had two big objections on content.
1. Language–lots and lots of D—-s. Numerous n—s.
2. Racism: Evidently a product of its time; I'll wager the author would have agreed with eugenics. Black characters, even while saving the day for the hero, are portrayed as dumb and needing direction. What really got me mad was “when a n* goes to seed, there's no worse menace on the face of the earth.” What?? Why any worse than a white, Russian, and islander, an Asian??

So let me set this straight: ANY human is equally capable of excellence or of perfidy. His skin color has no bearing on his ability.

Otherwise, a fun treasure-hunt story.
