I’m most disturbed by this drawing depicting the JapaneseAm presence as a threat becuz they were seen as terrorists ready 2use🧨 It reflects not just Dr Seuss but wider (white) American fears & readiness 2accept the injustices of internment 4the prospect of “a safer America” https://t.co/BaaorPUxqs

Six days after this Dr. Seuss cartoon ran, FDR signed Executive Order 9066, leading to the forced removal of 120,000 Japanese Americans. Geisel never apologized, only saying decades later that it and other racist cartoons were "embarrassingly badly drawn." https://t.co/BmxW29ZP9R

The anti-Asian racist imagery of Dr Seuss is personally disturbing becuz I read his stories like “Green Eggs &Ham,” loved it, &even read them2 my own sons not aware of these other works. What is below is not as 1/2 as awful as the Seuss cartoon depicting JapaneseAm internment 😩 https://t.co/hTLz99PpRC

Give Tara Dublin Josh Hawley’s Book Deal @taradublinrocks
“And to Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street” (1st published in 1937) was my favorite Dr. Seuss book as a kid. I can still recite parts of it from memory. But looking at it with a modern perspective, it’s impossible to ignore the overt racial stereotypes #DrSeuss https://t.co/TRLWLOdHVp
