There's many a racist expressions in the book but they are mostly the product of their time and, in many cases, they are used tongue-in-cheek to poke fun at the characters. If you can look past them (and also spend some time to understand quaint references and colloquialisms) then you'll find them to be the epitome of old British comedy.
