He is accused of racism now often by people (SJW types) who have never read him. I do not think he is racist especially when you note when he was writin e.g.
In the final Allan Quartermain book he has Umslopogaas a Zulu Chief give a talk to "Good" a white man which is a lesson in morality and Good has to admit that he has fallen below his own standards.
Give me example of real racism in Haggard's work.
Some SJW types also accuse Kipling of the same thing. It is obvious they have never read that "very racist poem" "Gunga Din".
