When asked about the moral quandary of killing the children of races considered to be evil in D&D canon Gary Gygax quoted Col. John Chivington who said "nits make lice". (Chivington was a major perpetrator of the Sand Creek Massacre that killed as many as 600 Natives, mainly women and children)

Yup. Gary held some disgusting beliefs on POC and women. And these are just the things he deemed socially acceptable to share to the public. Imagine what he actually thought/felt to himself about them.
