   Hi All,    
       ...Greets from my Telegram app!   
      
   Whatcha y'all  think of the recent Dr Seuss cull of 6 titles?   
      
   With respect to one of them: If I Lived On Mulberry Street - it captions an   
   illustration of a man as ?a Chinese man who eats with sticks.? The book, in   
   particular this section, was actually altered in 1978 by Dr. Seuss himself.   
      
   Suess wrote/said:   
      
   "I had a gentleman with a pigtail. I colored him yellow and called him a   
   'Chinaman.' That's the way things were 50 years ago," he once explained. "In   
   later editions, I refer to him as a 'Chinese man.' I have taken the color out   
   of the gentleman and removed the pigtail and now he looks like an Irishman."   
      
   One news article reported that "They also explained that they made their   
   decision by working with a panel of experts who reviewed the entire catalog of   
   Dr. Seuss titles to determine which books contained offensive imagery and   
   stereotyped descriptions of non-white characters."   
      
   SO.. does that mean depicting Latvian maidens, Mennonites (ie, white   
   characters) operating a Zoo is not offensive?   :/   
      
   Ciao!
