re: Dr. Seuss books are ‘racist,’ new study says

With howcolorful the populations of his book were I highly doubt only 45 were of color.

Well you know how liberals do studies and surveys.... They probably analyzed way more than 50 books..... because where else did they get 2200 characters from....but then just picked 50 that fit the narrative they were trying to sell.
I like you remember the books full of different colors for characters and all.

Dunno about his more obscure works, but there are no stereotypes in the best known works (Hop on Pop, Green Eggs and Ham, One Fish Two Fish, etc).

And the characters usually aren't "white". They're more like D&D fantasy races, somewhat humanoid but with the wrong number of features on each hand, pointy ears, and fur.

I guess if you live in a lily white place like Minnesota you're going to be clueless. Most of the OT grew up around both black and white people and doesn't conflate random things with race.

In the book If I Ran the Zoo, a white man says he would “put a person of colour wearing a turban” on display. Ishizuka and Stephens call this is an act of “dehumanization,” which is “to treat someone as though he or she is not human.”

The book/page in question:

This has to be a white liberal. No black person feels this way.
