Debate about children’s books: Ravensburger and “The Young Chief Winnetou” – culture

If you want to get to the origin of the current argument about racism, cultural appropriation and Winnetou, you have to scroll for about ten minutes. That’s how long it takes for an average trained scroll thumb with an average loading time of mobile websites on Instagram to reach the comments that prompted Ravensburger Verlag to withdraw a few books from the market on Monday. Why do you have to wipe so much? Because since this decision, as of Tuesday afternoon, 2500 comments have been added, which, to put it mildly, take the publisher apart.
