This is a question Books

We love books. Tell us about your favourite books and authors, and why they are so good. And while you're at it - having dined out for years on the time I threw Dan Brown out of a train window - tell us who to avoid.

In the original book
the Oompa Loompas were specifically black Africans. They then changed them to fantasy creatures for basically the reason you stated.

Also the chocolate industry in real life was known for the near-slave conditions suffered by its African workers.
