British Commission For Racial Equality Targets Tintin In the Congo Sales

The Commission For Equal Rights has come out against the sale in bookstores of Tintin in the Congo, one of the series best-known albums, for its depictions of black people. The article requires little explanation. Personally, I always thought you could acknowledge something has massive shortcomings like that and still sell the result in bookstores, and in fact something might have some deplorable aspect and still have value, but I'm not sure I could articulate my reasons for thinking that without pissing off 1/3 of my friends.
