Of course racism was more acceptable in those days. What frosts me is that this side of "Dr. Suess" was so assiduously swept aside, though never actually denied, during his time on earth. Even more hypocritical is a series of anti-racist cartoons featured on that website cited above, where he seems to be saying "we should be nicer to coloured people because it helps the war effort."

But perhaps the greatest atrocity of all is the fact that Jim Carrey and Mike Myers disported themselves so shamefully on the corpse of his two best known works, violating every orifice!

Livejournal is really gibbled these days. I've lost I don't know how many comments in the past week or two.
