I'm taking about the physical descriptions - which are really quite vile, especially considering this is not a person who is supposed to be in any way deformed, just not European-looking - not Tonga's character, which I agree is sympathetic. He had good reason to be loyal to Small and didn't understand why killing Sholto would be all that bad. I'm also not blaming Doyle so much, just thinking of where a person reading it today would find race!fail, and I assume for most people, that would start with the most blatant things, like describing Tonga as looking "misshapen," before progressing into issues of colonialism. I was taken aback when I first read the descriptions of Tonga years ago. It was like looking at old Blackhawk comics and illustrations of the Chop-Chop character and doing a double-take because he was drawn so differently than the other characters.
