Dr Seuss was big when I was a kid but by the time our kids came along it was more of a memory lane thing than part of the rotation..

Why is it that almost all big American companies seem to be run by super-woke liberals?

Because the conservatives who run their big companies don't make the news as much.

Banning a few books that nobody reads anyway is a very cheap and easy way to ensure that they don't lose any business, and appear to be woke, whilst quietly making tons of cash using off-shore sweatshops and paying dreadful salaries to a bunch of drones that nobody really cares about.
To be honest, if they drop a couple Seuss books with dodgy depictions of Asian people, I'm not going to worry about it too much.

How far we’ve come...
Anyone have a link to the racist images in the 6 books? So far all the articles I’ve seen just reference the books?

For Americans, it's probably safer to post an image of Mohammed than to post an image the woke have deemed inappropriate.

Not anymore. A lot of Asian SJWs are claiming put-upon status and pointing to incidents of anti-asian hate crimes for proof that whites hate them just as much as they do blacks and latinos. Makes sense from their perspective; quite obviously the worst thing to be associated with in America today is whiteness. They're all just so evil, right?

Look in any Seuss book, it is loaded with racism.
Too many whites
White people = racism

Online retailer eBay is removing several Dr. Seuss books from its website that are no longer being published.
A spokeswoman for the website told the Washington Examiner on Thursday that it would no longer be allowing sellers to list six books that have been deemed by Dr. Seuss Enterprises, the company that preserves Theodor Seuss "Ted" Geisel's legacy, as containing racially insensitive imagery.
"At eBay, we have a strict policy against hate and discrimination to ensure our platform remains a safe, trusted and inclusive environment for our global community of buyers and sellers," eBay Corporate Communications Specialist Parmita Choudhury said. "We're currently sweeping our marketplace to remove these items. It can take some time to review all existing listings and provide education to impacted users. We're also monitoring the newly published list to be reviewed."
But...of course:

I can pull up W.A.P. on Amazon Music right now. If I Ran the Zoo on Amazon Books? Not a chance.

Seems pretty goofy to me.
People are so instant reactive, that they dont think about things too long term.
