Aah right so because I won't rise to your predictable bait, I don't know? When the author of the book is the one who comes out and says it's passively racist thats enough for me, considering ....you know .... he wrote the book.

And this is what Captain Underpants was doing?

Dav Pilkey used the term to describe something he'd written that was unintentionally and unwittingly racist. In line with Dolly Parton's "don't be a dumbass" philosophy, now he's realised it could be seen as racist, he's decided to do something about it.

I love the way they go foraging for racism and act like they have struck gold when they (think) they have found it so they can go into outraged mode.
