How about a sample sentence, to give the sort of flavor you think is fair? My impression was that Shaw's racism mainly displayed itself in connection with support for Eugenicism, which in turn may have been largely a result of his knee-jerk support for all "progressivist" causes. Otherwise, wasn't he rather ostentatiously anti-racist according to the standards of his time? (More, I suspect, to be a contrarian than out of any real conviction, to be sure.)
I think we should mention his racism somewhere in here.
I'm feeling strangely happy now, contented and serene. Oh don't you see, finally I'll be, somewhere that's green... Hide / Show Replies
