I read Tintin at age 8. Old ones included. I knew they were racist, but I also knew they were products of their time. I think American kids are also able to draw the same conclusions. If they are allowed to, that is.
- Barrin92 6y agoRealistically I don't think most eight year-olds or young kids can contextualize fiction like that. I'm not sure most of them even know what racism means at that point. I think an annotated version of the books might be a good idea.
- sildur 6y agoAs I said, they can, but you have to allow them to. We had a child series here in Europe portraying racism and fascism, and we were able to understand what happened in it. And we are regular people.
