What about this one?

https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Der-Giftpilz-by-Ernst-Hiemer-English...

I can buy a children’s book written by literal Nazis that was created to teach kids why Jews are bad and how to recognize them.

I can’t buy a Dr. Seuss book about the zoo because there’s a mildly offensive picture of a Chinese person.

Really?



What do you want me to say? I don’t work for eBay! It looks like that book is against eBay’s policy and should probably be flagged. They are not the only online marketplace where people sometimes break the rules.

> there’s a mildly offensive picture of a Chinese person.

a) Fuck off with “mildly offensive,” it’s flagrantly racist and doesn’t belong in a children’s book or on eBay’s marketplace (in accordance with eBay’a policy)

b) I see you didn’t mention the cartoon of the Africans in the exact same book, which is straight out of the Klan and makes your argument much weaker.


Please don't tell people you disagree with to F off. That's not a productive direction to go with this conversation.


If you don’t like the book just don’t read it
