[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Mom! 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]

Read. The. Thread. It’s a reference to the problematic content in “if I ran the zoo”. And yes, Asian people have definitely been seen as a subservient class in this economy for the larger part of its existence. Perpetuating imagery that reinforces that is bad.[/quote]
