Eddings man ...

(Anonymous) 2014-02-09 11:27 am (UTC)(link)
A while back I tried to re-read my old David Eddings books for the first time since I was basically a kid and wow was it disturbing. The hate for the Murgos (hope I'm remembering that name right) and the 'hilarious' discussions of genocide was revolting. I couldn't believe I'd loved them when I was younger.

Eddings doesn't even hide the racism behind a human/non-human dynamic, these are a race of fellow humans that the 'Alorns'(clearly proxies of various white European peoples) have decided are evil and should be eradicated. The depiction of Murgos alone as sly and yellow-skinned is right out of a WW2 propaganda poster and don't even get me started on the weird gender politics.
