To me, since I am reading it now in current times the racism that I see makes it harder to swallow, so to speak. It doesn't really matter when it was written. It's being read now. It may have been normal then but it's not now. Aren't I allowed to complain about it? I'm allowed to be uncomfortable by shit, you know.
I feel like you're making this a bigger issue than it is while also implying that all racism has to be of a certain level. Like, um, no. It's like sexism in the fact that there are microaggressions and old shit in books that were normal then but shitty now and even if it's not the worst thing in the world it still sucks. I'm not crusading to get the books removed from stores. Besides, most of us here are saying we fucking liked the books so I don't even see a problem here. It's a complaint, nothing more.
Also it's funny how we're apparently spending all our time and resources on hating some precious book. I'm not, by the way, I'm just eating popcorn right now. Literally. Like, it's sitting next to me. I got a new kind. It opens really fucking weird but it tastes... wait sorry. Off track. Anyway, I honestly doubt I have the resources to protest something in the Ukraine when I live on the other side of the planet. That takes a lot more than I can physically do. It also takes a large amount of time and commitment I don't currently have. Shit, I don't put any of that kind of effort or commitment into this book and it's in my house. This is literally what people in this secret's comments are doing right now:
"This sucks."
"Yeah."
...That's it. How is that... bad?

Um, Orville Redenbacher. Never had it before. It's good but the packaging is weird.
