What surprises me is that the book is apparently "fixable".
Given the expletives, I expected something like the TURNER DIARIES, PROTOCOLS OF THE ELDERS OF ZION, or at least John Norman.
Not poor(?) research on a historical novel.
Makes me wonder if Scots need to be offended by OUTLANDER or the horde of "barbaric highlander" books.

Agreed.
No clean hands. Just varying degrees of intolerance and no civility.

For that matter, what about novels about Witches?
Shouldn't Wiccans be complaining about the paranormal books?
So far, we're seeing lynch mobs in children's books, YA, TechnoThrillers, Fantasy, and SF. Now romance. What remains? Horror?
