I've read a few DragonLance books from later in the series (and written by different authors) and the way that different races are treated (all kender need to be eradicated from the earth because the "good" humans don't like them) made me uncomfortable.

It's also uncomfortable to read that the "Plainsman" that saves the world in the first DragonLance trilogy is also the one who looks the most white. Blond hair and light skin as compared to dark hair and skin.

"all kender need to be eradicated from the earth because the "good" humans don't like them"

What the hell? A kender died to save the universe in book 4! How did they become bad guys?

It says right in the very first DL book, IIRC, that a lot of people on Ansalon considered the kender to be as much a nuisance as mosquitos. The other Heroes of the Lance were the exception rather than the rule in that they openly accepted Tasselhoff as one of their own.

Um, I think the "good" humans weren't really any good. That was kind of the point. The audience loves kender and is supposed to be horrified that these people who see themselves as good want to eradicate them.

I wouldn't be so sure about the audience. A lot of D&D players aren't all that fond of kender either.
