But should we be demanding proof that racist depictions are actually creating racist attitudes in children? If that's the case, you could have an adorable Nazi cartoon figure, or a slave delighted with his servitude and loving his massa, and no one would have the right to object unless we could point to children who read these books and turned into Nazis and slave apologists. What's wrong with deciding (not being forced, mind you) not to publish a book simply because it will be offensive?
