And a 2017 article that goes into extreme depth investigating Seuss's work: https://www.pragmaticmom.com/2017/05/examining-dr-seuss-racism/ https://www.pragmaticmom.com/2017/05/examining-dr-seuss-raci...
(IMO the article is a bit over the top and doesn't try to separate racist work from work that was created in a racist or just "white American" perspective, but wherever your line is drawn, it does include a lot of valid criticism of Seuss's body of work)
This article also points out that you might not notice the more-casual casual racism in Seuss if you're white and unaware of your own casually racist/xenophobic/majoritarian attitudes.
