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.
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.
Translation: Me any my family are not offended, therefore, nobody should be offended.
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.
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.
We all read the thread, but I don't know anybody who has that stereotype anymore, nor have I seen in publications. Maybe if you read Stormfront you will, but more likely you'll hear more about how smart the Chinese and we will become their servants.
So if that stereotype no longer exist exists how does an old book perpetuate that, seeing that i apparently didn't.

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.
DP. It's only offensive if someone says so. Fine let them say so. Is mere offense really harm?
DP. No, it's not harm. And it's no harm to stop publishing the book either.
Why not?
Then people say "I wish they kept the book in print," and you assume that those people have no valid reason to even say that? Do you really think people want things for no good reason?
If some people say the book causes harm and some people say stopping to publish the book causes harm and neither has any concrete evidence, then it's all just a matter of opinion.
And yet, only the owner of the copyright has a right to decide what to do. And they did. You lost.
So it's all about power, not racism after all?

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