Re: Tintin book racist?
I can see where they are coming from. However I don't think it should be banned, just viewed from a historical perspective, and understand that it was written when Belgium was an imperial power, and that happily we've moved on.
Most of Shakespeare would be banned too, if we were to be totally politically correct. Tintin in the Congo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As stated, I don't think it, or any book, should ever be banned. Prohibition sets a dangerous precedent. I think it is daft.

Re: Tintin book racist?
I wonder if the quote from one of the inmates from 'Porridge' would fit with the P.C. Brigade?
