The new dune did away with white people.

The fremen weren't white. They were essentially feral people, not indigenous. It makes sense for them to be motley. Taking a desert planet and making it seem "desert" by adding brown people isn't a stretch either.

If Herbert had specified white it would be different

A white man wrote a book about whirlte people for white people.

They didn't just make fremen nigers. They replaced house atriedes too with dews and Latinos.

Honest question, did he REALLY do that? I have only seen the movies and read up on the timeline of the Dune cosmos. However, it seemed to me like Frank Herbert was heavily into fetishizing sand nigger cock, like the French do with Egypt and the middle east.

He comes from that generation where they had a mystical kind of view on the middle east and the sand niggers, which was a fertile time for the jewish propaganda about the "other / non white" being presented as a fetish really came into being.

Was it truly a book written by a white man for white people? In what regard?
