'It's literary blackface': Barnes & Noble is forced to scrap new series of books to mark Black History Month after outrage over making famous characters black
Barnes & Noble cancelled a Black History Month book series after the bookseller faced a back lash over the project for substituting the faces of iconic characters
Critics complained about the 'Diverse Editions' book series, which gave Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and Frankenstein's Monster black faces
The series also dressed a dark-skinned Mr. Hyde in a turban, as well as made similar representations on another 9 classic novels
Critics said the series was off base and that it failed to celebrate and call attention to black history
TBWA/Chiat/Day, the the American division of international advertising agency TBWA Worldwide, also was called out for spearheading the project

Isn't that cultural appropriation?

Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.

(Haven't these people heard of the Wiz and Michael Jackson????)

LOL, the left eating their own here once again. The purpose of putting people of color in these stories was supposed to satisfy the woke, but it ends up once again ticking them.

BTW, Moby Dick is already extremely diverse. There are 44 crewmembers aboard the Pequod and they hail from all over the globe. The Harpooners specifically are non-white: Queequeg is Pacific Islander; Tashtego is Native American; Daggoo is African and Fedallah is from India. There is also Pip the black cabin boy.
