I'm going to just keep repeating that you're talking about a piece of fiction until you explain to me why a fictional character saying that something is true in a fictional reality has any impact on morality in our actual real reality.

Again, I'd understand if 'Gone with the wind' is a true story but it isn't.
If a fictional character makes a truth claim in a fictional universe then why does that matter?
To me this is as absurd as banning Star Wars because Darth Vader wanted to wipe out whole planets with the death star which not only endorses Hitler's genocide of 6 million jews but endorses the act of a genocide far more extreme than even Hitler's genocide.
Star wars is pure fiction there was never Death Star or The Empire or Darth Vader or the Destruction of Alderaan . Slavery actually happened in the American South the Confederacy was very real . See the difference.
