I think I have been good about staying out of Seuss Discourse but I gotta say that it is freaking weird watching people immediately coalesce around the narrative that WHO CARES NO ONE HAS HEARD OF THESE BOOKS rather than exhibit an iota of critical curiosity. Seems cultish.

Also "Terrible" is an exaggeration. Not sure what you're referring to about the history but "Eskimo" was simply the word that plains natives used to refer to the people north of them which the french adopted after meeting them.

Generally speaking, the U.S. has much less cultural understanding of First Nations peoples, and most Americans don’t even realize that particular word is considered a slur. It’s slowly changing, but we’re nowhere near where Canada is.

Let's pray the American people develop a full appreciation of First Nations culture. It's another item the intellectual class can add to their list of grievances about the commoners.

What about the use of racial slurs from different cultures? Like the use of Gweilo?

Much more disappointed to see the DuckTales-level ambiguous-Middle-Easterner in “On Beyond Zebra” get that brilliant book pulled personally

For what little it’s worth, can we all agree Seuss drew less racist stuff than Will Eisner
