There is usage of the N-slur, the K-slur, and a mention of anti-Catholic sentiment with a joke about wanting to join the KKK.magdarlin98's review against another edition

Blah blah blah “quintessential novel of the Lost Generation” go watch midnight in Paris instead, you’ll enjoy it more than reading this book.
This book felt like a hedonistic journal entry that puts Hemingway himself as the indifferent protagonist and talked far too much about fishing and bait and bull fights and cycling and drinking. I mean really! How many bottles of wine or glasses of ABSINTHE can one drink in an evening and not be falling over??? Oof not to mention all the racism and antisemitism.
I’ll probably try to give Hemingway another go, but it’s going to be awhile.
