it is always fun when you see some movie or tv show where the Irish hate the Itialians etc and you just know in 50 years time they all become friends and start hating each other based on skill colour. Let’s just hope in another 50 years all skin colours will band together to hate on something new like religion or something. Jk ofc
Racism was not a problem on the Discworld, because—what with trolls and dwarfs and so on—speciesism was more interesting. Black and white lived in perfect harmony and ganged up on green.
Don’t feel compelled to read the series “in order” too! Most of the stories are self contained.
I’m loving Monstrous Regiment right now. It’s so deliriously amazingly queer.
Terry Pratchett just threads the needle of being hilarious and irreverent while never being mean. His stories have deeper messages about race, gender, class, everything, but they are never morality plays.

I really have to start reading it, I have the first book but was also gifted a graphic novel version of it a few years back. Thanks for the reminder
