Well, those Calormenes had darker skin that Narnians and had an Arabic culture. Therefore, Lewis is a racist. He also hates it when girls grow up and get interested in boys, as proven by the fact that Susan went to Hay-ull at the end of The Last Battle.
I am the author of C. S. Lewis's Dangerous Idea: In Defense of the Argument from Reason, published by Inter-Varsity Press. I received a Ph.D in philosophy from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1989.

Is this the same racist Lewis who had a Narnian man and a Calormene woman interracially marry?
The same racist Lewis who said that he was afraid of space travel because he has seen how the white has treated the black man?
The same racist Lewis who praised the abolition of the slave trade?
Geez, what a creep!
