I wouldn't describe these minds as conscientious so much as "illiberaly liberal"

  Oh, yes, I was just citing the OP, it wouldn't be my choice. I wonder if Illirik is brave enough to make a selfie with one of the yesterday-OK, today-awful Dr. Seuss books and publish it on the social networks. Just to test how many conscientious minds will try to get him fired.

    Why would I take a selfie with a children's book containing racist caricatures? I don't have any of these books and certainly don't want any.

      Your standard of racism must be very extensive if you consider said pictures racist. IMHO they are just stereotypical, but engaging in visual stereotypes is not the same as racism.

        I think the modern standard of racism is just being white: https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/elena-guthrie/racism-white-privilege_b_18147778.html https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/elena-guthrie/racism-white-... https://www.theguardian.com/society/2002/jul/03/raceintheuk.comment https://www.theguardian.com/society/2002/jul/03/raceintheuk.... https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/education/wp/2016/10/19/to-be-white-is-to-be-racist-period-a-high-school-teacher-told-his-class/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/education/wp/2016/10/19/...

        Stereotypes? Maybe. I have not seen them. It sounds like people are describing racist stereotypes, and using racist stereo types is racism, surely?
