A (genuine) query - if Dr Seuss was from a country other than the US, would the books nominated by the estate have been treated the way they are now, discontinued for portrayal issues

If the author had been English, or French (or you nominate the country) would this discussion be under consideration)

Is this decision by the estate one specific to US cultural norms (whatever that is) and not as something other countries would have been insistent about.

If so, why not let other countries decide whether to continue with the purchase of the books.
