That all are valuable, inherently, and regardless of where or to whom they are born.

There is one line about dreadlocks that I can overlook as something not said with ill will, but ignorance to how it could be perceived.

Novik does a great job of representing a global cast. I belive all other complaints are nit-picking and said in bad faith because people want to be outraged about something.

The core of the book is that all of us are inherently valuable and no one should be valued above another just because of how they were born.

The book never disparages a character due to ethnicity. (less)
