Agatha Christie and Rudyard Kipling made Britain a nation of passive racists, claims Johm Barnes

The former England footballer John Barnes has claimed that authors such as Agatha Christie and Rudyard Kipling have helped turn Britain into a nation of “passive racists”.

Barnes said books including "Ten Little Indians", “Tarzan of the Apes” and “The Jungle Book” have instilled bigotry into the minds of generations.
The former Liverpool winger said the “inherent” racism meant that white people tended to resist having black neighbours.
