Old book not politically correct shock
The Commission for Racial Equality (CRE) is demanding that Borders and Waterstones remove Tintin in the Congo (first published in 1931) from their shelves on the grounds that it expresses 70 year old prejudices.
A spokeswoman said the book contained “words of hideous racial prejudice, where the ’savage natives’ look like monkeys and talk like imbeciles”.
Complaints have already led to both stores moving the book to their adult section.
