“very racist books“

Really? Very racist? You don’t think you’re exaggerating with the “very”?

If “what I saw on Mulberry street” counts as “very racist” where do you put “Huckleberry Finn” or “To kill a Mockingbird” with their colorful language?

I mean you have two great American classics unapologetically using the n-word vs a cartoon of a Chinese kid dressed as he did a few decades before the book was written.

N-word vs. kid dressed as he dressed.

Don’t you think “mildly discomforting depiction of a foreigner?” is more proportional?
