      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?

      Please love yourself.

        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?

        Look in any Seuss book, it is loaded with racism.

        Too many whites

        White people = racism

              Screenshot of the article, then post like any picture.

                  No, they're just rebooting him as Bi-Curious George.

                  Only non-witches get due process.

                    https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/ebay-dr-seuss-books-listings-removed

                    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:

                          Seems pretty goofy to me.

                          People are so instant reactive, that they dont think about things too long term.
