I hate the racism and misogyny in older books but I still enjoy the stories. I'm not worried that I'm going to steal land from the Indigenous when I reread the Little House books (spoiler - Ma's incessant bigotry and Pa's disregard of the Treaty Line are nothing when you get to Happy Golden Years and Mr Boast tries to straight out BUY Laura's daughter). I think that learning where we came from is part of the process of changing where we're going and that reading about historical beliefs and actions is part of that.
