Doing so doesn't mean the racism is OK, just that the story isn't simplistic.
k but do you get why today, in 2018, with police brutality all over the news, and all over our lives, we might be a little miffed that police brutality is treated as a minor background detail in the life of a sympathetic character?

do you see why we might be a little miffed that this character never at any point is asked to come to terms with his racism, with any black characters, with any consequences for his violence against black people specifically?

like if you can reach empathy with an imaginary racist cop, surely, SURELY you can achieve empathy on this point with real actually existing black people who don't think police brutality should be reduced to a signifier for a white character's morality and nothing more.

Sure; and sometimes rape is a minor subplot and that hurts other people too... But (I'm half guessing here) I would think the character and the town as a whole reflected a realistic view of similar people/towns in your country.

yes, it is very similar to rape being used not merely as a subplot, but as a way of saying something about the morality of a given character, and absolutely nothing about rape itself. I don't think we should tolerate either. And ummm... I don't think it was realistic at all, lol
