It was one of those 'there is no racism, you people are too politically correct and/or are overly sensitive' arguments. The type that I try to stay very, very, far away from.
There is a certain type of fan who, as soon as they decide they love something, suddenly will not allow anything critical to be said about it. In this case, I think the logic went something like this:
a) I like the Nero Wolfe books b) Racism is bad
Conclusion: I don't like racism, but I like the Nero Wolfe books, therefore the Nero Wolfe books cannot possibly have any racist content.
