Where do I start? Tom Saywer, Huckelberry Finn, Uncle Tom's
Cabin, any book on the glories of the wild wild west and the native
savages, Gone with the wind, Quentin Durward, Ivanhoe (anti-semitic),
Shakespeare (also anti semitic, really -- pound of flesh and all),
books on cooking beef (killing and butchering and savouring the
sacred mother cow!! -- not racist, but certainly offensive).
You live on this planet. Things are offensive. Get over it.
