10 Children's books you didn't know were RACIST (vid)
Pro: the passages speak for themselves and reflect colonialist/imperialist mindsets of the time. Lots of social darwinism too. While people shouldn't be judged by standards of a later time, surely the idea of determinism and dividing people into inferior/superior segments are 'no brainers' when it comes to BAD IDEOLOGIES, right?
Con: those passages only prove one thing: that the people who wrote those works were products of their time. Why should they be judged by the standards of a later time?
