I guess Dr. Seuss is SUPER racist now, though apparently he wasn’t at all racist when Michelle Obama was a fan:
She LOVED Dr. Seuss (that’s just her face.)
Anyway, it’s super racist now, so the Dr. Seuss Museum MUST replace the SUPER racist mural they have!
Dr. Seuss museum to replace mural after complaints of racism… https://t.co/0aMtMIvTT2

A Massachusetts museum dedicated to Dr. Seuss says it will replace a mural featuring a Chinese character from one of his books after three authors said they would boycott an event due to the “jarring racial stereotype.”
The mural features illustrations from the author’s first children’s book, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street.
The museum, which is located in the author’s hometown of Springfield, said Thursday that the mural will be replaced by images from later books.
Three children’s authors declined an invitation to the museum’s inaugural Children’s Literature Festival, which was set for Oct. 14 before being canceled. After the museum offered to take down the mural, the authors said they would attend, but the museum has not said if the festival is back on.
Here’s the SUPER RACIST drawing in question:
Wow. Truly horrific.
He’s eating RICE you guys. That is so racist. And that hat! That hat is ONLY ok when sold by EVERY SINGLE GIFT SHOP IN ALL OF ASIA.
Someone should let every carry out restaurant in China Town know they’ll need to burn all of their menus, because I’m almost certain I’ve seen similar drawings in all of them.
