: Vance has always had a Eurocentric viewpoint which is fine by me and especially fine when the villains are Dirdir or other alien races. When villains become humans of a different racial type (but not black) I'm made uneasy by that narrow distinction, but can give credit to a fine author of an earlier sensibility.

Are you saying that you are uneasy if the villains are any color but white? That seems like very narrow thinking
