The books have now been returned to the youth library. (And Serieteket was never gonna get rid of our Tintin collection a all.) Hopefully, the haters from both sides will cool down. And then we can restart the important discussion about racism.
27.9.2012

While we firmly criticized the decision to put away Tintin books, and we don't agree that most of the books are racist (though a few of them are), we think that the debate got blown out of proportions fast. So much hate! Prejudice! Angry White Men!

Strange days at the Culture House. An ill-conceived decision to take away "Tintin" books from a youth library (due to "racist content") ignited an national debate about censorship. Serieteket was not involved in the decision but still got blamed.
