Think of all the vile character Shakespeare wrote dialogue for - should he not write it because they are distasteful. Look at the Last Duchess by Browning - that narrator was quite the douchebag, but the poem is excellent. etc, etc, etc.

My best friend is a little brown woman. (Mexican) And a big fan of The Red Hot Chile Peppers. Go figure.
I found the poem to be tender beyond its percieved nomenclature. And what if a poet chooses a Narator that is both sexist and racist?
