Sweden to update Pippi Longstocking in new children’s story, becoming a Roma migrant and ‘warrior against injustice’

Will she also ‘get’ a brown/black horse (paid for by the Swedish government via social benefits) and migrant friends?

What’s next??? (I know I should not ask such a question.)

Sweden: Reading aloud from famous children’s books is now ‘racist’:

Pippi Longstocking is the main character in some of the most famous Swedish children’s books. The books have been translated into 70 languages and made into television films and TV series as well.

The first Pippi Longstocking novels appeared in 1945 and the adventurous stories were never really seen as “problematic” until a white German feminist called them racist in 2011. Later, the controversy reared its ugly head in multicultural Sweden as well.

But last week it reached its zenith, when the police filed a report after children at a Swedish day-care centre were listening to the Longstocking stories in a local library.

Sweden’s Libraries Destroying Pippi Longstocking Children’s Books Because of Racist Phrases:

A Swedish council has admitted that local libraries have been throwing out copies of a popular children’s book because it contains racist expressions, with one local journalist even claiming the books are being burnt.

Older versions of the Pippi Langstrumpf [Pippi Longstocking] book entitled ‘Pippi in the South Seas,’ have been discarded by libraries in the Botkyrka municipality.
