Everyone thinks offensive, discriminatory stuff from time to time. Not saying them out loud or including them in your books is basic politeness. Working on your self to reduce the thoughts (and ensuring you're not putting them into action) is the next step to being a better human.
Should be interesting to see how this thread stays about ereading. I prefer books that express an author's opinion. Whatever that is. Some I'll agree with, some I won't. Some I might but BECAUSE of an author's caustic opinions. Some I'd avoid for the same reason.

Political commentary deleted.
