Do you think your African friend would equally (have) enjoy(ed) Tin Tin and Asterix, et al, despite the crude and sometimes less than subtle racial stereotyping of the precious few people in the books that bear any resemblance to him?
Also, in many countries, in many European countries even, meaningful mixing with ethnic minority groups is far less frequent than exposure to racially ignorant classical literature.
