Liberals said they wanted diversity. But they just canceled several Dr. Seuss books because they depicted native people in their native clothing. Make up your mind, liberals. Is diversity good, or is diversity racist?

This article from Associated Press says that one of Dr. Seuss’s books was canceled because “an Asian person is portrayed wearing a conical hat, holding chopsticks, and eating from a bowl.”

That’s not racist.

It says another one of his books was canceled because it had “a drawing of two bare-footed African men wearing what appear to be grass skirts.”

That’s not racist.

I thought liberals were in favor of diversity.

Why are they now against it?

I wasn’t much of a Seuss reader as a kid. Mainly because the Suess books in the libraries I visited were constantly out on loan. But I’ve seen enough of his art to know that nothing he draws looks like anything on earth except in the loosest possible sense. So how could they say for certain any two Suess characters were from Africa unless there was a sign attached to them saying so?

Diversity is in the eye of the race’s.

it is not about diversity. it is about control.

they get to decide what we read.

the issue is never the issue. the issue is always the revolution.

They really just want the power of life or death over ideas and words, and — to an ever-increasing degree — people.

They really believe Lenin's old, nasty aphorism: To make an omelette, one must break a few eggs.

Except even if they can't make an omelette, they can mollify their feelings of frustration, envy, and inadequacy by going ahead and breaking a few eggs anyway, if only to prove to themselves that they can. Just look at Mario Cuomo.

Liberalism is a chronic, no-cure mental disease.
They prove it just about every day now....they’re insane.

Liberals also pulled Aunt Jamima, Uncle Ben, off superstore food labels because they are the racists. Can’t have any people as positive role modes if you are liberal.

Because liberals are against everything, always (unless it’s some bizarre form of sex). That’s them, the always aggrieved, perpetually against. Change things to the opposite of what they opposed, then they’ll be against THAT.

Don’t forget Uncle Remus in Song of the South. Now there was a positive role model.

I just remembered reading some really old National Geographics, black and whites of . . . Africans . . . in . . . grass skirts (and less, sometimes).

Eskimo and Eskimo fish apparently for McElligot’s Pool.

Looked to me like they were given White Privilege. [That COULD be a BAD thing, who knows?]

Better cancel national geographic, pbs, discovery, TLC, Travel Channel, Fern Gully, zoos, michael Chriton, history, sociology, museums, etc.

Anyone notice that Disney’s trigger warnings say nothing about them giving all the proceeds from their racist past films to charity, or even to stop charging people to view them?

Cancel. Defund the left
