It seems like anything that they can shout “racism” about, they will. Even if it is completely unrelated.
The tigers should have been the clue. No wild tigers in Africa.
Oh, yeah, and when the tigers melted, they turned into "ghi". That's as Indian as it comes.
Yeah well, you think a few little details...like the truth...are going to interfere with the book burners of the left?
>>>Bannerman wrote this story about the little children from INDIA that she admired. It was never even about Africans at all.
Very true. However at least as published in the US, the artwork changed the story. The illustrations were not of a child from India, but instead of a thick-lipped googley eyed child in blackface paint. A common racist caricature of the time.
The story by itself is as harmless as most any other fable. But how it’s been used has tainted it to many.
