for Dr. Seuss

I really don't get it either. You have to point it out to most people which means most kids will never see the connection.

Another word that is now derogatory is "Pumpkin". My son got in trouble at school 2 weeks ago for yelling Pumpkin down the hallway. There's a video of a guy asking challenged people what their favorite vegetable is and in the video a guy yelled Pumpkin...so of course my son had to mimic him and do it too. Not AT anyone...just down the hallway to get a laugh. It's calling bullying now. He really didn't understand who he was bullying, which was really nobody but everyone...IDK. It's getting ridiculous these days.

I call my daughter pumpkin. I'm in trouble when she get's wind of this one.

Dinosaurs did evolve, they are called birds.

Looks like I am moving to La, my people have finally been recognized. I wonder what our flag will look like.

“Fat, short, unattractive” people, females and individuals without children are among the groups facing “oppression” or “resistance,” according to a graphic allegedly given to eighth-graders at a California prep school.

The crows were my favorite side characters in dumbo, and I wasn't some racist toddler; they just seemed to have a lot of fun and enjoy themselves.

Don't leave out pepe lepew. I don't understand how people get their panties in a wad over this stuff. When are the southern white people gonna start protesting all of the redneck farmer characters like Elmer Fudd? What about the Beverly Hillbillies? The Brady Bunch was a stereotypical depiction of a white middle class family. I get it if it is one sided but nobody is left out here. Being a victim is en vogue right now

What's up with Pumpkin?

What's up with Pumpkin?

Maybe some kind of tie-in to former President Trump's preferred color of spray tan.

Apparently having faith in the great pumkin will get you tossed in to a reeducation camp like China has now.

Some apparently turned into racist pieces of sh!t though

Does this all mean it's gonna be racist to eat crow ?? If I order Chinese food for take-out and request chopsticks to go along with it, will the cashier tell me to leave ?? If I watch 'King Kong', will I be in trouble if I watch the part where the big ape gobbles up the villagers ??

I must be hungry.

That is quite the eye chart! Must have been made by a Karen

Oh c'mon. The Dr. Suess books have not been banned by anyone or cancelled.
They are just not being printed anymore.

Dr Seuss company took the books out of circulation because they portrayed people in ways that are hurtful and wrong. They were approached by groups to cancel them.

Wow. Is this the whitest forum ever??
You realise children are being fed these stereotypical racist images which reinforce white supremacy... uh probably not.

I guess dinosaurs didn't evolve and just died out..

Twaddle. There's only one race, human. The least important thing about people is their physical characteristics. The only difference between poeple is cultural. Cultures differ and some are preferable to others. Some vastly preferable.

People that seem to spend their time desperately seeking to be offended are endlessly entertaining. Worse yet are those going about attempting to protect others from these mostly non-existent unpleasantnesses.

You say that like it is a bad thing.

If you identify as "Trans-slender" you get moved up a few notches, making you more priviledged!

That's good because I tried to join up with the new 'Super Straight' group but they are not having it.

Is that the Viagra group where they're all walking around, erect ??
