I think OPs issue has been asked and answered... only going to devolve from here... Starting to get nasty.

Since the title can’t be changed, can it also be deleted?

Actually I thought that thread went very well and should be preserved! Good quality snark and I didn't see much nastiness (unless it was deleted).

The title doesn't say anything about white boys. I haven't read a single post in the thread which is why I locked it instead of deleting it.

I actually thought it was a great example of someone raising white children in a racist household.

It’s often hard to imagine how day to day racism is taught, but getting offended that there are posters of black, brown and female astronauts on Amazon is a great example. It also really exemplifies how white supremacists have adopted the vocabulary of civil rights movement. Her white boys are being discriminated because the astronaut posters aren’t all white men.

It’s fascinating.

Not the title, but the OP's complaint was that a particular storefront on Amazon (PosterVue or something) didn't sell any white American male astronaut posters and she was concerned it was discrimination and worried about her white son.

There is an issue on Amazon of reviewers getting mad about things like engineering toys aimed at girls, giving one-star reviews, and writing things like, “how dare they make engineering toys for girls! How dare this toy be pink, it’s discriminatory against boys!”
