That seems to make more sense, but isn't as shocking as just


saying "Dr Suess is cancelled".

As discussed yesterday, some of Dr Suess's early stuff (like his ad work) his horribly offensive. For the most part, the stereotypes in his books are pretty tame. I understand it's not PC to show an asian with chop sticks and slanted eyes, but is that really so offensive if it's not done to insult or demean.

I can understand how the image I posted of Africans in "If I ran the zoo" could be considered pretty offensive, and I understand the decision to not publish that anymore (similar to the little rascals or Popeye Japanese episodes not longer running)

Seems like kind of a non event. "To think that I saw it on mulberry street" is the only one I had ever heard of.
