I don't think he was racist, because I think when he referred to 'black' I don't think he meant like African American or African English in his sense. I think he meant like a deep black like that of soot or black smoke, like an evil black. And conisdering the book was based on European legends and such that is probably the reason why they were all caucasion (I think thats how you spell it)
Because I mean if a fantasy book was written and it was based on African legends there would probably be no cacausion people in it.
