This reminds me of a near-argument yesterday with a co-worker (I’m a librarian) about whether or not Ezra Jack Keats’ “Snowy Day” was racist. I advanced that he wasn't and she pointed out the stock elements that all of his critics did thirty years ago and since. I pointed out that there was a context missing. She's got it all figured out, so whatever. Write your paper, honey. Awesome point and article!
