It's not attempting to stop racism. It's attempting to avoid condoning it, by saying, "the values expressed in these books are controversial, and many people believe they are harmful. We'd rather you didn't run across them by accident, or use them as examples of modern societal norms."

Most humans have some Racist tendencies. I don't care what you say in reply to this, Because it is a scientific fact that humans will Segregate themselves.

"Scientific?" You have studies to prove that people will segregate by race, if they all have equal legal and social rights?
Humans tend to group themselves by similarity... but it takes training to teach them that skin color is more important than hair color or eye color, more important than height or age, more important than social standing or job, in making those groups. People don't instinctively sort themselves out by race.

@ ALL : Do you think the Authors of these books expected so much controverse over them, some 70yrs later?

Of course not--because casual racism was the norm 70 years ago. It was perfectly acceptable to caricaturize and mock any cultures that weren't white & European-based.
