Actually what is happening under the surface is, some woke white person say something too edgy for conservatives, then the conservatives blame black people, also the algorithms that govern the internet will literally create an alternate reality, regardless of political affiliation.

I used to be one of those social justice warriors that demanded representation, but then I actually started reading books and found out that the media is creating a mass dillusion of making people think they have no history.

This has lead to the rise in mass victim mentality across the political, racial, class and sexuality spectrum.

>And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street
I'd have to assume that it's due to the guy looking like he's wearing a gi with a headband, the Eskimo-knockoff, or the guy dressed as a stereotypical Indian riding an elephant. The first two items make no sense to ban a book over at all, and the last one is more of a demonstration of a historical reality. It's not "racist and insensitive" to show that people wear turbans and used to ride elephants.
>If I Ran the Zoo
This one has some stylized faux-oriental clothing (it appears to be a mixture of Chinese and Japanese, but I'm really not sure, this isn't my specialty and Seuss books have a very specific artstyle that makes it harder to tell) so I'd assume that that's the reason for this one's banning. That or that these faux-Asians are squinting. Or maybe even the camel-rider with a turban, but as above, this is a stereotype based on reality. The last two are a representation of Africa and Russia; the latter has a somewhat stereotypical Russian, it's not wholly based in reality but I doubt many Russians give a shit. The former, Africa, is probably why it's not being published anymore. It looks like there are monkeys (or a Seussian equivalent) rather than people.

That's because the most interesting parts of history such as the colonisation of the world including Africa is considered 'racist' when it is taught. Instead of them teaching the philosophical implications during the colonisation, all we get is that's whitey are monsters. Also it's spelled delusion.
