1) Dr. Seuss wrote a book called One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. If the so called "doctor" of seussery thinks that it's important to differentiate between the skin tones of simple fish, there's not a doubt in my mind that he definitely discriminates based on skin color in humans as well.
2) The Grinch. I'm going to be very open and honest right now, I love the grinch so much. Is it because I look like the baby grinch from the live action grinch movie? Is it because my heart is also two sizes too small? Is it because I too am green and hairy? Who knows! But here's the thing-- the whos down in Whoville are completely rude to the grinch. And why? Because he's different. He doesn't look like them and has faced discrimination for it throughout his entire life. He was made fun of for having a beard at 8 years old, and was eventually forced to live in isolation in the mountains so as not to face discrimination any longer. Our good old grinch didn't hate Christmas, he hated the people that wronged him, and that is valid.
Time and time again, Dr. Seuss proves to us that he is racist and not accepting of anybody who doesn't look like him. Wake up America, Dr. Seuss is RACIST!
