I'm all for multicolored people having fun together. I'm a whitish-pink man who lives in Taiwan.<BR/><BR/>Read my blog. I'm the last person you could call PC. But don't be an apologist for racists because this is a lot more harmful than being PC (besides being boring, how did PC people ever hurt anyone)?Patrick Cowsillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12904899672214340947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353489745782837825.post-65224121184781627422008-11-05T13:53:00.000+08:002008-11-05T13:53:00.000+08:00The illustrations show multicolored children havin...The illustrations show multicolored children having fun together.

There are lots of better ways to teach them to see other people around them.

The book tells really small children about their skin, and that everybodys skin isnt exactly the same and thats just how it is, or at least it seems like that judging just this one page.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353489745782837825.post-82554337438691599572008-11-01T23:46:00.000+08:002008-11-01T23:46:00.000+08:00I once edited an English text book in which a read...I once edited an English text book in which a reading passage described Denzel Washington thusly: "Although he is black this makes him even more handsome." It made me wonder if the sentence had originally been "Although he is black, he is a handsome man" then someone had said "you know that sounds kinda racist" and it had then be modified to make it sound like the writer was actually cool with the whole black thing.John Naruwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641680794403601212noreply@blogger.com
