Honestly, it isn't horribly racist, There's no real description, so they all could have been white had they not called each other the N word, it's just a lot of stereotyping. Although, they could still be racially ambiguous, at my school, anyone darker than a peach crayon can use said slang as a complement, regardless of the skin color of the person they're noting, but it's an untouched racial slang that can't be used without quickly explaining yourself for anyone peach crayon and lighter.
The author's name was spectacular, regardless of what he wrote.
