Oh Lawd Hammercy.
The only reason a child's book was even in question was because of the CCC.
Cancel Culture Committee/Commission/Club. Is this really the hill you wanna die on today? CCC?
I could even see a somewhat valid argument for the case of Pepe LePew, the chillds cartoon French skunk whose unwanted advances towards female childs cartoon skunks promote, or at least normalize "rape culture" (in the mind of an impressionable child). I do remember these cartoons from ~50 years ago & I thought Pepe LePew was a creep too, but I also knew it was just a kids cartoon (I was a little kid at the time). I could recognize the difference b/w right & wrong, but I was raised properly too. Not all kids have that benefit.
But Speedy Gonzalez, Mr. Potato Head, Uncle Ben, Aunt Jemima, Yosemite Sam, the line of White Rain (soap/shampoo/hair etc.) products. ?? Jeez, where does the madness end?....(People can't scream on rollercoasters in CA now, for exmaple). Recently a man was jailed for referring to his young daughter as "she/her". Jailed!! A daughter (biological female) whom he professes his deep love for.....Witch Hunt's on steroids+crack x10 to the -20th power. Insanity!
P.S. Since you seem to be (woke/awake/awoke/wokened/awakened/not asleep) cite 6 references of actual racism in the Dr. Seuss series, since you're so up on the subject matter. We need some proof, not just because the talking heads (MSM, The View-Joyce Behar & crew, Don Lemon & co. etc.) say so.
