Eh, pretty sure it’s referring to books published around 1945, after WWII (273242 days is ~75 years) so of course it’s going to contain inherently racist shit. I don’t think one should hate a whole series because it wasn’t talking about civil rights and equality in an era where those barely existed; unless you were a white man. Heck, if Thomas & Friends was talking about that stuff back then it probably would’ve been banned.
