Advice for requesting through email a reading be changed/removed for future classes

I just finished an interdisciplinary seminar class, and one of the readings I found to be dishearteningly antisemitic. The book's theme was antiracism. However, the author presented an antisemitic undertone to his argument that threw me off guard. The book generalized Jews as a hypocritical group of white people that justified their racism by claiming the Holocaust was the worst atrocity in the world. The author had a history of antisemitic tweets and had an obvious distaste towards the Jewish people. I questioned the professor about some of the author's appraisals of H*tler throughout the text and his antisemitic tweet history. However, my professor responded that I take it with a grain of salt and that people don’t always say what they mean. I wrote a textual analysis pointing out the antisemitism throughout the text, but I’m unsure if she still sees the antisemitism in the book. I feel deeply uncomfortable that the book is in that class. Now that the semester is over, I would like to reach out to her and request that she picks another book to teach antiracism. How should I approach writing an email to request this?
