I read the entire series, and I loved it so much. They are my favorite Star Wars books (which is something to say since I have a collection of over 200).

Glad someone brought this up. Absolutely ridiculous considering the CIS, and the fact that he clearly admired Yoda to the umph degree when he was a Jedi. Guess Sidious really passed dat speciesism onto his apprentice.
Allegations of Palpatine's xenophobia are as absurd as Dooku's. The pre-TPM EU perpetuated the notion; then TPM comes along and Palpatine's chosen apprentice is a nonhuman and he interacts with aliens at all times without rancor (pun intended). I subscribe to the notion that the Emperor viewed everyone as pawns and wasn't inclined to hate any one group more than another (at least on the basis of species).
