It's no secret Dr. Seuss was racist against Asians, particularly Japanese. He made a lot of anti-Japanese propaganda with racist depictions during WWII. One might have been able to forgive this considering the tension of the war at the time, but then he, uh, just kept up with the racist depictions and descriptions.

I don't care if these books cease publication. They were already in the bottom tier of Seuss's work. Personally, I'm more in favor of the disclaimer route, but I don't really see these books as a loss to the grand pantheon of human creation.

Edit: it's also unsurprising that this is picking up steam right now, the Rise Up Against Asian Hate movement has been growing a lot in recent weeks.
