Except that that progress is impotent. There are several instances in the books were mugal tech is belittled as irrelevant to a world where such problems can be waved away (dentistry, flying cars etc). And wizard conflicts go on without input from mugals even where they do much of the dieing. The message is that there is a world of elites fighting battles that we illiterate peasants cannot understand. We should just trust that those who attended Eton have is all in hand.
And there is a parallel justice system akin to the ecclesiastical courts of the past whereby initiates avoid the laws governing the lay peasantry.
I would disagree with the world being racist. There is a faction that promoted blood lines, but not necessarily blood lines tied to race. It's elitism rather than racism.
