Do you judge people by their library?

From the title, I thought this was going to be about depictions of prejudice in novels (based on race, magical ability, wealth, etc.).

I can't afford to judge others based on what they read, lest I be judged myself. Something about stones and glass houses.

The Midweeks are pretty dead generally so I threw in some spicy ones into the pool that are more argumentative.

But prejudice in light novels is good as well. I could think of a couple that have prejudice as a main plot point. Especially concerning class systems or against beast folk. I'll add it to the pool as well.
