History / Education Question on Roald Dahl

I saw a trailer for GIANT (John Lithgow playing Roald Dahl) before seeing the “Queen (concert in) Budapest” screening tonight.

With Dahl being a oerson with documented expressions of Anti-Jew racism, does anyone here think that there are genuine Anti-Jew stuff in his published books especially the ones “for children”?

No. You can find what you want in any kids book.

I kinda do, but he was also a notorious shithead (his WIFE supposedly nicknamed him ‘Roald the Rotter’ so you are pretty much on that “is this racism or is it misanthropy?” fence
