[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What really bothers me about this is that the man was a complex person with many anti-racist views. It's like people can't even think anymore. They can't even imagine Mulberry Street 70 years ago.[/quote]

Nobody is calling Dr. Seuss racist, only talking heads on Fox News are propagating that lie. The issue surrounds the use of racist caricatures in children's books. Please try to keep up.[/quote]

Yes, they are. Did  you not remember the teacher who wouldn't read Dr. Seuss when Trump sent a book because she thought he was a racist? And the cat in the hat was not about that. If anything it was anti-government and conforming. https://www.biography.com/news/story-behind-dr-seuss-cat-in-the-hat

There are plenty of books that depict Asian people as yellow even in Asia. Shouldn't we celebrate diversity? Do  all characters need to be white?

There is nothing hurtful about that image either its original image or the new one. It's just semantics that people were offended by.

This person gets it right. Dr. Seuss not only talked about accepting diversity. He drew about it.:
