[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a heads up that there is some racist stuff in the Little House on the Prairie books. https://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/what-should-be-done-about-racist-depictions-in-the-little-house-books/16587/ [quote]In one passage in “Little House on the Prairie,” Wilder wrote, “There were no people; only Indians lived there,” while in another, one of the characters, Pa, says, “the only good Indian is a dead Indian.” In “Little Town on the Prairie,” Pa appears in a minstrel show and sings a racist song — an anecdote accompanied by an illustration of the characters in blackface.[/quote][/quote] Actually...Pa did not say 'the only good Indian is a dead Indian'. A neighbor on the prairie said it to him, in the book (Mr. Scott), and Pa said he didn't believe that. My kids read the Little House books, and we've had some great discussions about these things.
