The conical straw hat was common in China during the 1930's. It keeps the head cool in the hot sun, and is cheap to make. And rice has always been a Chinese staple.

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?
More like, they want to change people to be like them and live like them. That is to say, insane and without any morals whatsoever.
Finally! I have been saying for years that the hat worn by the Cat in the Hat is in no way representative of the hats that cats usually wear.
In the Never-Never Land of Far-Left (mainstream) Democrat governance, telling the truth is racist. Get used to it.
Yet another example of how clueless our side is.
Suess has ZERO to do with diversity.
Suess is part of the CCP cultural revolution, like stigmatizing Merry Christmas.
Suess is about erasing America, and for our side to even discuss it on the phony CCP terms just shows how clueless we are. Our side is actually providing camouflage and contributing to the disguise for what is actually happening.
““an Asian person is portrayed wearing a conical hat, holding chopsticks, and eating from a bowl.”
The conical hat is called a nón lá (Vietnamese), and my wife wears one whenever she works in the garden.
And that character is wearing geta, Japanese wooden sandals.
The Cultural Revolution of Chairman Mao has come to America.
I guess we’re supposed to ignore the outlandish getup some of the ethnic House and Senate members wear to work. And I recall Schumer, Pelosi, committing cultural appropriation when they were kneeling at that freak show wearing African scarves.
They are truly insane. And evil. Insane and evil.
Diversity is whatever a leftist believes it is at any given time.
Put this in the right context.
THIS IS THE SEUSS FOUNDATION.
CANCELLING THEIR MAN’s OWN CREATIONS.
They cancel the very first Seuss book, Mulberry Street? Good God.
The guy was pretty liberal, but that’s not enough.
Yes, the Issue is never the issue. Only as it conveniences the insurrection.
It’s like the black TV shows.
Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
They despise Good Times because it was so stereotypical black, showing them in projects and poor.
They despise Cosby Show. It was NOT stereotypical black, showing well-off professionals living well in a swank neighborhood.
You cannot win.
Another post in the fruitless, pointless quest to "own the libs".
Look. When you post something that begins, "Liberals say...", you are talking about people who chronically and habitually use rhetoric to achieve their objectives. Rhetoric is not dialectical - it's not meant as a true statement, it's a weapon.
Proving that they are liars is a waste of time, because a) they know they are lying, and b) they can always slither away with "well it's MY truth" or some such nonsense.
(Gotta ask....what is that last photo? Looks like a house or something, not a library.)
What is the sickest here?
In ascending order:
1). The abnormal freaks
2). The places that set them up to do this
3). The “adult” parents
The last 2 are disgusting enablers.
Our world has become nothing but enablers egging on all the garbage that goes on today (to wit, the riots).

No, wish I say I did; it’s been in the Ether for a while...before normal children’s books were banned by the Communists.
Re. my tag line.
Cancelled my subscription to NatGeo years ago when they started going left.
Popular Science is not popular with me, nor is it science any more.
