I know Pendragon defended this under "he is racist" but with historical works (even fiction) you must take the culture and time periods into account.. character may well be racist, homophobic or worse because these traits were not seen as malicious until fairly recent in history (extreme examples aside).. it wasn't until the atrocities of WWII that the world truly began to take a united stand against anti-semitism, for example and prior to the Civil War it was not uncommon for Southern State people to hold racist views, not because they were malicious but because that was how they were raised since birth.

TLDR: people in the past had different morality to the people of today, time periods, culture and "universe" settings should be looked upon when judging characters not depicted in our 21st century Western world.
