I usually preferred other books by Astrid Lindgren (and believe me, I've read them all ;)) to Pippi, so I don't remember those books as well as the others.

As already mentioned, this probably refers mostly to Pippi in the South Seas.
Considering that the books were written in the 1940s, during the second World War (and published in 1949), and that Mrs Lindgren set most of her stories around the turn of the century or early 1910s, 1920s, there are probably quite a few bits which would be considered racist today.

She's still my favourite writer <3 :)
