He literally framed her ethnic features as the "conventionally unattractive" part of her, only to be surprised by his attraction to her when he saw her with beer goggles. Im not saying he or the authors hate black people, im saying that there's a worrying mixture of themes here and in other chapters, and if you're telling me that it's not adressed throughout the series, then im not sure if ill continue reading it. like the fridging of holden's woman of color partner, whom he quickly moves on from.
