Why doesn’t that man with the slanty eyes eat with sticks and wear a pointy hat?” “Is he one of those helpers from a country with a name I can’t pronounce?”  Omg 😱 Yikes. [/quote]

This is why i would have made the decision not to publish it anymore, if it were my decision.  This is what kids do with stereotypes. Wise decision. Also, imagine being a Kindergarten teacher and reading these books to a class with kids from mixed backgrounds. Ugh.  [/quote]

The Asians of this country are kicking the white man's butt in college and work. Not sure what you mean by helpers. More like, wow, that's really cool. I want to be like the Chinese. Can we eat with chopsticks? That's how it would go down in our house.[/quote]

Translation: Me any my family are not offended, therefore, nobody should be offended.[/quote]

No, if we are looking at current society, in what area of America are Asians seen as merely "helpers"? Jews and Asians are doing just fine in America to the point where people are being racist against them to help bring up the black  and Hispanic population. Also, there is nothing in this image that depicts them as helpers.[/quote]

You just keep proving my point, dude. You are not offended, and you don't think anyone else should be offended. You have nothing to add to the conversation.[/quote]
DP.  It's only offensive if someone says so.  Fine let them say so.  Is mere offense  really harm?[/quote]

DP. No, it's not harm. And it's no harm to stop publishing the book either. [/quote]
Why not?[/quote]

You are welcome to show the harm, if you have evidence. [/quote]
Ignore above and see my other answer.[/quote]

It's unclear to me what your "other answer" is. [/quote]
