You've asked the wrong person for the answer you're looking for, I 
think.  I think that that if you don't like that contract, you shouldn't 
buy that book.  In fact, if a company is exercising racist policies like 
that, I think you should refuse to do any business with that company 
whatsoever, and publicize the policies far and wide.  Drive them out of 
business.
