Yes exactly the point is context not just content.

Anyone who reads has to take what they read with the context of the time it was written. So yes someone who would not have believed themselves a racist may have written a work which unintentionally seems racist to a modern reader.

The modern reader (or parent of reader) needs to take that into account.
