I think this falls into the “if you aren’t anti-racist, you’re racist” category of cancel culture. On the one hand, it sounds like a great idea that everyone should be against racism. However, it quickly becomes a slippery slope as it cascades. These books are racist, thus if you have/sell/buy them, that makes you racist too. And if you don’t do something about it, you should get canceled to. Someone put one of the offensive images on Twitter or Google scraped a site with one? Cancel them too. And if you don’t support canceling all of these things, that means you support these things and should be canceled too.
Taken to the logical conclusion, anyone or anything that’s offended anyone should be canceled. Which is everyone and everything.
