Re: Biden erases -Dr. Seuss?

It's Dr. Seuss's own company that decided not to continue publishing certain books. Not Joe Biden or any other politician.

I don't really know the books in question, so I don't know what in them might be seen as racist. I do know that, before he became a children's book author, Dr. Seuss created some highly racist propaganda cartoons, back in WW II. But that was accepted then, anything to beat "the Japs". Possibly some of the creatures in his early children's books looked too much like those caricatures of the Japanese. That would be my best guess as to what this is all about. But it is frustrating that no one will really say, because even making it clear what it is that is objected to would be considered offensive.
