Moderate: Sexism and Racism

Minor: Death of parent, War, Xenophobia, Antisemitism, Death, Religious bigotry, Slavery, and Physical abuse

The sexism and racism I noticed largely stem from the labelling of women who tempt the male main character as "brown girls." Women who do not tempt the MMC are usually described as "pale" instead. Some scholars argue that it's not intended to be racist, but it is colorist at best
