The problem (as I see it) is some things that are either minor or not rally offensive get made a big deal of when some things that are more of an issue go without anyone saying anything about them. King Solomon's Mine by H. Rider Haggard is a terrible book because of all the racism in it. Yet it was made into a movie. Who's Body by Dorothy L. Sayers I didn't like because of the antisemitism. Sometimes these thing stand out and you cannot help noticing and other times it's so minor you don't notice or it really is nothing and someone is making a deal out of it.
